Task 1
Written or spoken answers to two interview questions (1000 words/10 minutes)
– Include your word count/ minute count

Interview Q1: Can you explain your understanding of cultural competence and how it applies to your work?

Interview Q2: How do you practice looking after your own mental well-being when working in a mental health setting?

Using an appropriate technique (STAR), answer the two interview questions above. 500 words/5 minutes per question.

Task 2
Written or spoken reflection on your ability to engage in ethical and inclusive practice (1000 words/10 minutes
– Include your word count/ minute count

Reflect on your ability to engage in ethical and inclusive practice by using a previous work experience that particularly relates to ethics and inclusion within the workplace.

While reflecting, keep in mind the values and codes set within the BPS and those noted by the Professional Body for HR and People Development. You are advised to structure your reflection using the Gibbs models and to limit description to just the first part of the reflection. Your reflection should focus on your observations of behaviours of your colleagues, your line manager and reflections on your own behaviours. Include some refection upon your observations of inclusive practice within the workplace and experience in line with other related module topics.

Your reflection should end with an action plan for development.

Task 3
Written or spoken reflection on how your personal strengths make you a good fit for a chosen occupation or role (1000 words/10 minutes)
– Include your word count/ minute count

Reflect on a past work/academic experience that highlights your three top strengths and the the role that these strengths make you ideally suited to.

You are advised to structure your reflection using the Gibbs models and to limit description to just the first part of the reflection. Your reflection should focus on your strengths, make reference to the self-assessment tools you have used to assess your strengths and the career this makes you best suited for.

Your reflection should end with an action plan for development.

Task 4
An infographic depicting your 5-year career plan and an accompanying written overview of how you plan to achieve your career aims (500 words)
– Include your word count

Infographic
Create an infographic to show what you intend to do to develop your ability to become and stay fully employed in the five-year period starting from your current position or immediately after graduation.

Your infographic should indicate what actions or activities you may wish to undertake and should be both realistic and detailed. For example, if part of your plan is to complete further postgraduate study, then you should also be considering and recording how you will generate the funds for this.

Your actions could be about getting training or professional accreditation, developing experience, building a physical or a virtual network, etc.

In all cases you need to research the detail of your proposal and present this within your infographic. This detail could include, for example:

• information about costs
• activity start point (in calendar terms, or relative to your graduation, or both)
• geographical location (e.g., will you have to move or commute?),
• whether there are prerequisites that you need to have completed before each of your proposed actions (and some indication of whether you have these or need to meet these), etc.

You should also include clear information about timing (for example, in terms of how long each aspect of your plan will take, how often you will need to engage in an activity, and when it will be completed). If you choose to overlap tasks, this should be both realistically possible and represent an achievable demand on your resources alongside any other commitments that you have (e.g., your job or childcare commitments).

You might also include potential obstacles or barriers to your success and explicit strategies for how you would overcome these. These strategies should be considered in the same way as planned actions, with practical strategies and timeframes.

As this is an infographic, you should use layout, colour, images and icons effectively to convey your plan, and minimise your reliance on words. Your infographic must be embedded within your portfolio (so you may need to consider how you create your infographic with this in mind). Your infographic may be portrait or landscape and must be entirely legible.

Written overview
In this written overview, you will provide additional details and context for the plans outlined in your infographic. Your written overview should complement your infographic and include information that cannot be effectively conveyed graphically. It should follow the same timeline as your infographic, describing your plans over the five-year period starting from your current position or immediately after graduation.

References
If you make any reference to theory in task 2 or self-assessment tools in task 3, you may want to reference them here in APA format.

Appendix
You may want to include the results of your self-assessment results here.

Appendices should each have an appropriate label (E.g., Appendix 1), and a clear and meaningful title (VIA self-assessment results). Appendices should be presented in the order in which they are referred to in your portfolio. Note: each Appendix should include one entry only and each new entry should start on a new page.
