Taking part in the development and review of the curriculum

In order to effectively involve SUSUN members, we need to go beyond just seeking your feedback. We will work collaboratively with SUSUN members to ensure that the course is shaped by their views, needs and insights. This could involve working collaboratively with individuals, or with groups such as advocacy or support groups. The principles of 'co-production' may help thinking about ways in which we work effectively with SUSUN members. Co-production can be defined as working together with people as equal partners in the design, delivery and review of social work education. This can include, for example:

• Planning and development of courses, by giving your perspective and feedback on the content of curricula and the methods of teaching, which could include formal membership of curriculum development and governance groups.
• Teaching and learning activities, for example by giving presentations, facilitating seminars, contributing to small group work with students and mentoring students.
• Feedback and assessment, for example by providing feedback directly after interactions with students during placements or contributing to the development of feedback and assessment processes which could include formal membership of assessment development and governance groups.
• Quality assurance, monitoring and evaluation, for example by being part of provider quality management visits to placement providers or committee membership.
