Answers some anticipated questions regarding the implementation of this paperwork
This form can be completed by the placement supervisor and returned to the Postgraduate Research office and adviser if only placement days are missed through sickness. In other cases it should be completed by the adviser.
Since October 2022 we moved to a new system for recording placement activity. The new system is called Pebble Pad. Each trainee will have their own Pebble Pad account and placement supervisors can log in to the system as externals and complete and sign off any paperwork for the trainee on placement with them. If you are currently supervising a trainee you can log in to Pebble Pad or download guidance below:
