On successful completion of the module, students will be able to:
demonstrate the skills required to deliver coaching and mentoring support and how these activities can promote professional development;
explore how learning from coaching and mentoring sessions can be applied in the workplace;
examine the principles of work-based assessment within policing;
explore a range of continuous professional development interventions to demonstrate an understanding of the promotion of professional practice.
In this module, students will learn coaching and mentoring skills that will be useful to them in their service. Coaching and mentoring models will be taught and them students will be given opportunity to put those into practice. Students will learn about assessment in the police and how assessment processes inform and maintain consistent, professional standards.
Utilising the pre live post model, students will have preparation for the taught element, with a focused lecture-based input and discussion, allowing for the development and exploration of ideas. This will be followed by additional self-directed learning to enhance their initial teaching.

Further details relating to assessment
A 2000-word assignment based on a peer coaching or mentoring experience (which will be facilitated in the module teaching sessions). The coachee/ mentee will provide written feedback to the coach/ mentor which will be used to inform the reflection. This feedback will be appended to the report and will be no more than 250 words.
The assignment should be reflective in nature but have a future orientation as to how a student will use the skills in the future. It should include reference to coaching and mentoring models to demonstrate understanding of those in practice, and use the feedback provided.
