Guidance and toolkits for candidates and partners
This page describes the resource packs a real programme would publish. For your assignment, you can treat these as placeholders for downloadable PDFs, templates, and workshop materials.
Candidate resource pack (what it includes)
- Routes into training: pathways, entry requirements, timelines, glossary
- Application toolkit: personal statement structure, CV tips, evidence mapping sheets
- Interview toolkit: question banks, scenario prompts, reflection framework
- Readiness checklist: safeguarding basics, professional conduct, placement expectations
Marketing note: keep language plain, remove jargon, and provide examples—this increases completion and confidence.
Understanding routes
A plain-English guide explaining training routes and what a typical year looks like, including placements and workload expectations.
- Route comparison table (time, cost, entry)
- Questions to ask training providers
- Signposting to local support
Application writing
Templates and prompts to help candidates write clearly about motivation and experience, with examples of strong evidence statements.
- Personal statement outline
- Evidence mapping worksheet
- Feedback checklist
Interview prep
Practice materials designed around values, safeguarding awareness, and classroom scenarios.

Partner templates (example)
Partners often need consistent messaging and simple process tools. A real resource area might include:
- Inclusive recruitment checklist and candidate experience audit
- Referral form template and triage guidance
- Workshop slide deck and facilitator notes
- Monitoring and feedback templates (survey questions, attendance tracking)
Data governance and privacy
If collecting candidate data for evaluation, partners should apply appropriate policies: consent, minimal data collection, secure storage, and clear retention periods. For a university project, you can outline these principles without storing any personal data.
