Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, the range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package.

Overview of assessment

This unit of competency could be assessed on its own or as part of an integrated assessment activity involving other competencies relevant to the job function.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to provide evidence of:

recognising the needs and desires of people with disabilities to engage fully in all aspects of society, and their right to do so

interpreting accurately the impacts of the full range of disabilities and the limitations that each disability places on the individual's ability to access the environment

interpreting accurately how the full range of environmental barriers impact on any of the impairments that people with disabilities might have

interpreting and applying anti-discrimination legislation for the provision of access

interpreting and applying building legislation for the provision of access

reading and interpreting construction plans and other project documentation for the provision of access

identifying any areas of non-compliance with the relevant legislation and informing other members of the building development team of the non-compliance issue

communicating effectively with other building development team members to determine access requirements and to ensure that regulatory, client and other stakeholder requirements are addressed

communicating possible solutions that address access requirements to other building development team members in a professional manner using clear and logical reasoning

recording, storing securely and maintaining documentation in accordance with relevant standards, codes, legislative requirements and workplace procedures

complying with OHS regulations applicable to workplace operations

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Resource implications for assessment include:

a registered provider of assessment services

competency standards

assessment materials and tools

suitable assessment venue/equipment

workplace documentation

candidate special requirements

cost and time considerations.

Validity and sufficiency of evidence requires that:

competency will need to be demonstrated over a period of time reflecting the scope of the role

where the assessment is part of a structured learning experience the evidence collected must relate to a number of performances assessed at different points in time and separated by further learning and practice with a decision of competence only taken at the point when the assessor has complete confidence in the person's competence

all assessment that is part of a structured learning experience must include a combination of direct, indirect and supplementary evidence

where assessment is for the purpose of recognition (RCC/RPL), the evidence provided will need to be current and show that it represents competency demonstrated over a period of time

assessment can be through simulated project-based activity and must include evidence relating to each of the elements in this unit.
