Giving Feedback to StudentsGiving Feedback to Students• Giving timely feedback is the backbone of good supervision.
• In order to develop students must receive regular feedback about their progress – positive and negative.
• A feedback sandwich consists of constructive criticism “sandwiched” between 2 examples of praise or positive feedback: i.e. positive / negative / positive.
• To be effective feedback must be as precise as possible and suggest solutions for how negative practices can be changed.

Failure to FailFailure to Fail(Duffy 2003)(Duffy 2003)
Findings:• Mentors do not always identify and deal with problems early enough
in students’ placements.• Weak students are often given the benefit of the doubt, and passed,
when there were clear doubts about competence and performance.
Recommendation:• If the Registrant (Associate Mentor) has any doubts about the
student’s proficiency they must involve the qualified Mentor, ward manager and academic staff at the earliest opportunity.
• The Registrant (Associate Mentor) must take their responsibilities seriously in order to protect the public.
