Are agreed criteria consistently applied? Does the writing refer directly
to the QTS Standards?

Is the writing appropriate to the audience?
Is the report related to the needs of the individual?

in a forthright way?
The report should be carefully written and factual. It should be clear, concise,
unambiguous and honest.
The report must provide an effective agenda for further development and progression.

Targets/areas for improvement should be: specific, measurable, achievable,
realistic, time related and able to be evaluated by the trainee.
The report should also indicate any help, advice, support and guidance that
may be available for the trainee.
The report must make clear links between teaching and learning.
Language used in the report must be clear and concise and jargon should be
avoided.
