But a separate report by John Vine, the Independent Chief Inspector of Borders and Immigration, into the management of student visas by UKBA – published in the same week as the ONS statistics – calls on the government agency to monitor SVV numbers for possible abuse.
The management framework provides specific tools for dealing with these issues: the management of student work delivery and evaluation results accessibility, automatic or semi-automatic assessment of student work, and detection of lab assignments that are highly suspect of having been copied.

It can also be argued that, to better reflect clinical practice, management of student supervision in the clinical environment should be a shared, rather than an individual responsibility.
At this point in the process, participants could identify key challenges but were unable to identify and/or implement effective strategies to improve management of student supervision during placements.
The aim of this project was to explore the process of change in a busy community dental clinic following a team development intervention designed to improve the management of student supervision during clinical placements.
