Hi Janet, Every facility has their own policies regarding students. Usually, all volunteers, student or adults, after induction are to be supervised for a couple of weeks. It is better to start them assisting staff with activities until they get to know the residents and perhaps meet one they would like to spend more time together as in IPP.
Thank you for your fantastic resources which I have utilised for some time now for the Golden Age Club which our church has run for almost 40 years. Thanks again, you provide a very valuable service which in the years to come will no doubt be more relevant as our population ages.
