Unit of Competency PUAEMR029 - Plan and implement a treatment measure
Description This unit describes the outcomes required to plan and implement a treatment measure that is within the scope and capability of a single agency, organisation, or service provider.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit applies to people responsible for implementing part of a risk treatment plan that is within the responsibility of their organisation. This unit is applied following an emergency risk assessment with a community or part of a community. Such assessments are conducted at local, regional or state level by local governments, emergency management committees, public safety agencies, major event managers or other organisations that need to understand emergency risk to a community. The output of these assessments includes a risk treatment plan that allocates agreed responsibilities for implementing recommended treatment options.No licencing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

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.

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

Assessment must confirm the ability to:

evaluate the treatment measure

develop an effective implementation plan in cooperation with the stakeholders and gain organisational approval for it

identify implementation issues and develop/document contingencies

work with stakeholders to monitor treatment implementation

maintain momentum and achieve the project outcomes within available resources

establish, conduct and finalise a treatment project that has broad stakeholder and organisational support and produces effective treatment outcomes

Consistency in performance

Competency should be demonstrated in at least two different contexts throughout the life of a treatment project, or during components of a number of projects, one of which may be simulated.

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 real-world 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 real-world project, often in an action-learning context.

This unit may be assessed with other units that address project management or other parts of the emergency risk management process.

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level, required for this unit.

The Range Statement relates to the Unit of Competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording in the Performance Criteria is detailed below.

Stakeholders may include:

staff

client groups

decision makers

members of the public

community groups

industry groups

public and private sector organisations

non-government organisations

elected officials

Performance criteria for assessing the effectiveness of treatment implementation may include:

benefits of outcomes compared with costs of treatments

benefits to individuals, enterprises, communities, the environment, governments and their agencies

improved resilience of community/organisation through improved systems

reduction of vulnerability

Records may include:

lists of potential costs, invoice and payment records

log books, diaries, schedules, charts

minutes of meetings

project/organisational files and records

reports to stakeholders and management

risk management plans

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.
