Assignment task

CW1: Extended literature review

This assignment is an extended literature review (ELR).

The development of a relevant research question or topic must be clearly demonstrated. An audit trail of the search strategy should be detailed and transparent. Once relevant articles are selected (between 6-10 recommended) a thematic analysis should take place and emerging themes from the findings need to be presented. A discussion should follow offering a critical analysis of the findings indicating any implications for practice and future recommendations.
