Issue Date: July 2024
This unit supports the attainment of skills and knowledge required for competent workplace performance in councils of all sizes. Knowledge of the legislation and regulations within which councils must operate is essential. The unique nature of councils, as a tier of government directed by elected members and reflecting the needs of local communities, must be appropriately reflected.
This unit covers participating in research activities and consultation processes that inform policy development. The unit looks specifically at the gathering of information to underpin policy development and the research necessary to analyse policies that impact on the client group and the work of the organisation.
