The latest issue of the Journal of Practice Teaching and Learning is devoted to the difficult subject of failing students. Articles consider this issue from the perspective of the student, the teacher, the agency, and users and carers.
Failing a student or trainee always involves pain and difficulty for both teacher and student. This special issue covers the professional issues and the personal impact, and gives examples of how teachers and students have dealt with them.
This stressful duty cannot be shirked; there is an obligation to protect service users and the public from practitioners who are not up to standard. Failures to do so have been noted by more than one recent Public Inquiry.
This special issue is therefore timely, and we are sure that anyone who must deal with these difficult issues will find it helpful.
