The aim of this project is to research something that is relevant to your placement and your agency. It is not primary research and will not require ethics approval.

The purpose of this portfolio item is to give something back to the agency and/or to the profession. You can be creative.

It would be great to have a collection of these reports to promote the work of UniSA students on placement. To do this we need you to have your agency approval and to ensure that the reports do not breach confidentiality.
