The Best Placement Support Award is awarded to a member of staff who has made a significant positive impact on your placement. This can be either a year out placement, part of your course, an internship, or summer placement. They may provide support, offer practical advice, assist you in navigating your transition into academic life and/or help you implement the knowledge and skills you’ve gained on placement.
And the winner is...
Jonathan Unsworth-White
