    5/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • I had to swtich line managers at the start of the placement and also my managers had taken holiday etc, because of this I didn't receive the objectives or guidelines for my work until the 3rd week of my 10 week placement. However after this period they were always available if I needed help.

    • I was invited to team nights out etc but there weren't many other events like sports etc.
