Candidates should be expected to present evidence from at least two different contexts one of which may be simulated

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Context of assessment

Evidence of competence in this unit may be collected in a simulated environment and real environment often as part of a larger project with concurrent assessment of other emergency risk management competencies

Specific resources for assessment

For the demonstration of competence in this unit it will be necessary to participate in a realworld project

Underpinning knowledge may be assessed through written assignments project reports debriefings and action learning projects in real or simulated environments

Guidance information for assessment

This unit contains many transferable skills such as communication consultation research and analysis skills that can be applied in the emergency risk management context Assessors should use formative assessment strategies in a simulated environment to contextualise underpinning knowledge Summative assessment requires application of the unit in a realworld project often in an actionlearning context

This unit may be assessed with other units that address the whole emergency risk management process
