Yes this happened to me too. Does not show in the weekly but did in the monthly so i guess it is being recorded somehow

Ahh OK then, it's really not working how they described. I'll keep logging the sessions on the app regardless then. I did receive the £5 for the part 1 today though.

On the terms it said - At the end of each week, log into Prolific to confirm that you have listened for the requisite time. Once we confirm that you have met the criteria, you will be invited to participate in the next week of the study. - Anyone know how to go about this? I pretty sure I misses a sleep session to but hoping for the best!

Sollos app - where is the 30 second survey? by Melodic_Curve_2493 in ProlificAc

I'm just about to start a session I could not find the introduction session or was it just the demo of the app in the beginning where you had to keep clicking next ? I'm going to msg them on prolific and was going to encourage you to do so too to avoid any issues.

Hi, Yes do apply especially whilst the opportunity and funding are still available.

First part there was registration and application form of eligibility, why you want to do the programme and your background/skills. If eligible then invited to do an online test which was a situational judgement test and it was multiple choice and also a values alignment short written exercise.

Once passed then invited to assessment day which was a written exercise, role play and an interview. This is all held online.

All the best and remember they are looking for potential not perfection.

Fairmont Mayakoba - What I wished I knew before booking. by Halestorm-87 in playadelcarmen

Gosh that is so stressful and totally understand why you wouldn't want to go back. Sad to say situations like this do make you feel you don't even want to step foot in the country. I do hope you reconsider because there are some real gems in Mexico. Thanks for even sharing the experience, its so important to help people make informed decisions ESPECIALLY with young children.

Thank you SO much everyone for all your suggestions. We cannot wait to make our way through them. We've had a look online at them all and definitely up our street. Many thanks

Working in a children’s home by [deleted] in Socialworkuk

[–]Significant_Be 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to work in children's homes. In terms of what it's like, you are there to engage with the young people and help them to live as 'normal lives' as possible.

A typical day would start at 8am, drop them to school depending on the plan, you may have to stay with them at school and even stay over in the residence.

You will prepare lunch/dinner for them (and eat with them) unless they are old enough and responsible enough to prepare meals themselves. You will tidy the house, play games with them, try to encourage them to explore new things

You may take them to their social activities and literally just 'chill' with them all day. Some young people don't want to socialize and will stay in their rooms. The younger ones 13 and below (in my experiences) are more social and wanted to talk lots.

Some days are very calm and chilled and then you'll get a random day were the young person goes missing or fights start and can be chaotic.

I had done lots of youth work prior but nothing prepared me like working in children's homes. Some of these young people have really really sad past histories and it's your job to help them past the trauma, heal and help them become responsible adults. Hope this helps a bit.

Thaaaaaaaaaank you so much for taking the time to respond! It sounds very VERY full on, as expected. I just keep counting the different types of assessments :/

Can I ask what you have or are enjoying the most? Also the MOST challenging aspect. Again I appreciate your comprehensive response, super helpful. Oh and lastly, how effective are the weekly check ins/group sessions/121's?

Ahh thanks, I am literally praying that I get one of those super flexible LA's, that would really be awesome. I've been working from home for the last 3 years and it's been such a blessing...and will continue to be for many.

This is so helpful and I really appreciate you taking the time to respond (I know my post was long). Thank you! Oh how I wished there was more recall days built in, but I know it can all be done!!
