On successful completion of the module, apprentices will be able to:
1 - Evaluate the skills required to deliver coaching and mentoring support and how these activities can promote professional development;
2 - Explore how learning from coaching and mentoring sessions can be applied in the workplace; and,
3 - Compare and contrast 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 the students will be given opportunity to put this process into practice. Students will learn about assessment in the police and how assessment processes inform and maintain consistent, professional standards.
This module will encourage students to reflect on where knowledge associated with British Values, Prevent, Healthy Relationships and Safeguarding have been developed.
English language, and where appropriate maths skills, will be developed through this module. The skills associated with the above subjects are developed to enable students to apply coaching and mentoring skills, whilst maintaining consistent, professional standards.
Digital skills will be developed through the utilisation of online resources such as the University's VLE, e-Portfolio system and Leeds Trinity University Library system.
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.
Independent study time should be spent on specific pre learning (on-demand learning – available to all students on Moodle), for example, engaging in specific background reading of the topic and online exercises. Post learning activities will be provided by the module tutor, but these will generally be assessment focused enabling the learner to achieve the assessment requirements.
All activities and materials provided on Moodle will support the module content for the module delivery including pre, live and post activities and resources.The sequencing of the sessions will provide re-enforcement of the theoretical concepts developed during the delivery in a progressive pattern, aimed at developing knowledge and overall understanding.

Further details relating to assessment
An artefact where apprentices will be asked to identify and reflect upon two or three examples and create an “evidence map” with associated commentary via proforma related to their professional discussion. Thus, permitting the learners to reflect on these incidents (self-assessment) using the Kolb model as well as illustrating understanding of the wider impact, demonstrating knowledge of why processes and procedures are in place.
The assignment should be reflective in nature but have an orientation as to how a student will use the skills in the future.
Formative is captured through Q&A with tutors and peers throughout the module to ensure learning and understanding of the topics covered and identify any gaps or trends. Decision making and problem-solving activity allow students to apply their knowledge practically, creating both feedback and feed-forward opportunities to develop student confidence and ability in applying their learning within a controlled learning environment.
Assessment Brief and Module Handbook can both be located in Moodle.
Please note that all assessments must be passed (at 40 for numerical marks) as a requirement of the College of Policing.
