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

The individual being assessed must provide evidence of specified essential knowledge and skills

The assessment of the skills and knowledge should include observation of workplace performance

'Workplace performance' may need to be demonstrated under simulated conditions which approximate the workplace, in order to address safety requirements or in order to assess skills and knowledge which may not be possible to assess in the workplace

Evidence of workplace application should be provided as detailed in the unit of competency

Where observation is undertaken in the workplace for assessment purposes, the assessor must ensure that safety of practice and duty of care requirements are addressed appropriately

Assessment should be conducted on more than one occasion to cover a variety of circumstances to establish consistency

A diversity of assessment tasks is essential for holistic assessment

Access and equity considerations:

All workers in health and community services should be aware of access and equity issues in relation to their own area of work

All workers should develop their ability to work in a culturally diverse environment

In recognition of particular issues facing Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander communities, workers should be aware of cultural, historical and current issues impacting on Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people

Assessors and trainers must take into account relevant access and equity issues, in particular relating to factors impacting on Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander clients and communities

Context of and specific resources for assessment:

Method of assessment:

Observation in the work context
