Policy may include: | government policy organisation policy |
Work activities may include: | processes outcomes priorities client services core business service delivery mode/s organisational structure |
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
