Context of and specific resources for assessment

Context of assessment

Competency should be assessed planning and implementing an agreed treatment measure in the workplace or in a simulated workplace environment

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 project management or other parts of the emergency risk management process
