Partner surveillance
Maintain selected placement providers, placement areas, risk status, notes, records and partner profiles.
Teams can separate the national CQC register from the smaller list of providers actually used for placement learning.
For universities with practice learning placements
Assurance for every placement partner, in one place.
PlacementWatch helps universities monitor practice learning partners, track CQC changes, review news and intelligence, and evidence the actions taken to keep students safe and supported.
It is designed for placement quality teams, programme leads, practice learning leads and senior governance groups who need a clear view of external assurance signals alongside local placement intelligence.

What it does
A live assurance workspace for placement governance
PlacementWatch brings together public information, regulatory data and local intelligence so universities can maintain an active assurance record for each placement partner. The aim is not to replace professional judgement, but to make the evidence base easier to see, discuss and document.
CQC monitoring
Upload and refresh CQC provider data, link records to placement partners and track Overall rating movements.
Super administrators can control the source data while universities select and monitor their own relevant partners.
News and intelligence
Match public news signals and internal intelligence to the partners that matter to your university.
News, student feedback, placement concerns and meeting notes can all be attached to the relevant provider record.
Actions and evidence
Create assurance actions from CQC, news or internal concerns, then close them into the provider record.
Completed actions form a timeline of what was reviewed, who reviewed it and what decision was made.
Why universities need it
Placement quality can change faster than annual review cycles.
Universities place students across a large and changing network of trusts, community services, GP practices, independent providers and specialist settings. A partner can be safe and well-established one month, then trigger concern through a CQC change, a news story, student feedback or local intelligence the next.
The risk is rarely a lack of information. It is that the information sits in different places: inboxes, spreadsheets, meeting notes, placement team memory and external websites. That makes it hard to see what has changed, what needs action and what evidence exists if a decision is challenged later.
PlacementWatch gives placement assurance teams one place to monitor provider changes, select the partners that matter, record intelligence, assign actions and keep the evidence with the provider record.
Designed for auditability
Make decisions visible, attributed and persistent.
PlacementWatch keeps the reasoning behind assurance decisions alongside the provider record, so teams can see what changed, who reviewed it, what action followed and what evidence supported the outcome.
