YOUR DRAFTING BRIEF
Draft a questionnaire to help with this goal: Learn whether a supervised placement supports relevant practice. Include neutral questions and allow people to skip situations they did not experience. Do not assume: Feedback should not require confidential details about clients or service users.
An example brief you can adapt. This preview does not call an AI service.
A useful starting point
Learn whether a supervised placement supports relevant practice. Choose the questions that fit the experience you are investigating; avoid asking people to evaluate a step they did not encounter.
If nothing was unclear or difficult, say so. Skip questions about steps you did not experience; use not applicable where appropriate.
Role understanding determines whether a placement learner knows permitted activities and expected responsibilities. Clarify boundaries with the supervisor without collecting confidential client details or evaluating professional competence through feedback.
An applicable activity links the placement to practice of a specific skill. Preserve what the learner did and the context; participation alone does not demonstrate mastery.
Missing supervision reveals where learners lacked guidance, feedback or an available contact. Review support arrangements for the identified activity rather than judging the learner's performance.
Advance expectations help learners prepare for their first day and avoid assumptions about duties. Add the relevant logistical or role detail without requesting sensitive service-user information.
Improvement suggestions connect experience to a change in placement design. Prioritize a concrete support or practice adjustment and evaluate it separately from confidential outcomes of the work.
If nothing was unclear or difficult, say so. Skip questions about steps you did not experience; use not applicable where appropriate. Were your placement responsibilities clear? Which activity helped you apply a skill? What supervision was missing? Which expectation should be explained before arrival? What would improve the next placement?

Examples to adapt, rather than a validated research instrument.
A worked interpretation example
Illustrative scenario. These are not customer results.
Illustrative learners complete tasks but lack a scheduled feedback conversation.
Agree a supervision rhythm and a safe way to discuss progress.
After testing the action, revisit this original observation: Illustrative learners complete tasks but lack a scheduled feedback conversation. Repeat the relevant experience prompts with people who encountered the change. Compare specific explanations and sample differences; do not claim causation from the before-and-after responses.
Choose the response format
| Question | Suggested format | What to preserve |
|---|---|---|
| Were your placement responsibilities clear? | Short open text | Let people explain the experience in their own words. Review this answer for: were your placement responsibilities clear. |
| Which activity helped you apply a skill? | Short open text | Let people explain the experience in their own words. Review this answer for: which activity helped you apply a skill. |
| What supervision was missing? | Short open text | Let people explain the experience in their own words. Review this answer for: what supervision was missing. |
| Which expectation should be explained before arrival? | Short open text | Let people explain the experience in their own words. Review this answer for: which expectation should be explained before arrival. |
| What would improve the next placement? | Short open text | Let people explain the experience in their own words. Review this answer for: what would improve the next placement. |
Make questions optional where appropriate. If you add a rating scale, label its endpoints, keep one idea per question, and retain a follow-up for reasons. These examples are not a validated measurement instrument.
Before you send it
Would you agree that practical placement feedback was a completely positive experience?
Were your placement responsibilities clear?
The initial wording assumes a positive evaluation. The revised question asks about the actual situation so a respondent can describe difficulty, uncertainty, or a different experience.
From question to next step
Write down the decision you want this questionnaire to support: learn whether a supervised placement supports relevant practice.
Invite people who experienced the relevant situation. Explain response handling and include an optional skip or not-applicable route. Feedback should not require confidential details about clients or service users.
Agree a supervision rhythm and a safe way to discuss progress.
Read the answers carefully
Feedback should not require confidential details about clients or service users.
Illustrative learners complete tasks but lack a scheduled feedback conversation. This is an illustrative interpretation problem rather than a real customer result. Agree a supervision rhythm and a safe way to discuss progress.
Before you send it
Learn whether a supervised placement supports relevant practice. Start with one decision you can act on rather than using the survey to confirm a preferred answer.
Read this answer for the concrete issue behind the response. Feedback should not require confidential details about clients or service users. Compare specific explanations instead of reducing every response to one average.
Agree a supervision rhythm and a safe way to discuss progress. This is an example action to investigate, not a guaranteed improvement.
Ask after respondents have experienced the specific situation in the first prompt: “Were your placement responsibilities clear?” Allow enough time after a proposed change for people to experience it before repeating the questionnaire.
After testing the action, revisit this original observation: Illustrative learners complete tasks but lack a scheduled feedback conversation. Repeat the relevant experience prompts with people who encountered the change. Compare specific explanations and sample differences; do not claim causation from the before-and-after responses.
