Unit of Competency SITXEVT010B - Evaluate and address event regulatory requirements
Description This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to assess the regulatory requirements that impact on a complex event comprising multiple components, and to incorporate appropriate responses into event planning and management.
Employability Skills The required outcomes described in this unit of competency contain applicable facets of employability skills. The Employability Skills Summary of the qualification in which this unit is packaged will assist in identifying employability skills requirements.
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit may apply to individuals coordinating events in any industry context, but is particularly relevant to event specialists who operate in the cultural, community, hospitality, sporting and tourism sectors.A complex event comprising multiple components must involve:need for a comprehensive and multifaceted event plan need for a formal internal or external communications strategy dedicated and diverse event budgetmultiple administrative and operational components a wide range of stakeholders an event operations team.A senior event coordinator or event manager would undertake this role.

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.

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

Evidence of the following is essential:

ability to analyse, assess and respond to the range of regulatory issues affecting an event to ensure event compliance

sound knowledge of the range of regulatory issues that affect different aspects of event staging, relevant networks and information sources

practical demonstration of skills through development of plans and procedures to address the regulatory requirements of a specific complex event.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure:

access to a complex event for which regulatory requirements must be addressed

interaction with others to reflect the communication and negotiation aspects of the unit

use of the appropriate state or territory legislation and plain English documents issued by regulatory authorities

access to current organisation policies and procedures, and plans used to manage regulatory issues.

Methods of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:

evaluation of strategies and operational plans prepared by the candidate to address regulatory issues

case studies to assess candidate's ability to develop approaches for a range of different events

questions to assess detailed knowledge of different regulatory requirements and issues

review of portfolios of evidence and third-party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate.

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended.

Assessing employability skills

Employability skills are integral to effective performance in the workplace and are broadly consistent across industry sectors. How these skills are applied varies between occupations and qualifications due to the different work functions and contexts.

Employability skills embedded in this unit should be assessed holistically with other relevant units that make up the skill set or qualification and in the context of the job role.

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

The following skills must be assessed as part of this unit:

planning and organisational skills to develop practical plans and procedures

communication and negotiation skills to liaise with people with varying responsibilities working in different contexts (e.g. operational staff and government officials)

research skills to source information on event regulatory requirements

literacy skills to interpret regulatory documentation and develop complex plans, procedures and other documentation.

The following knowledge must be assessed as part of this unit:

range of regulatory issues that impact on different types of event

the primary components of state, territory and local council laws that impact on event delivery and actions that must be adhered to by event operators during event set-up, operation and break-down, in particular laws that cover:

occupational health and safety (this would include requirements that must be met for providing a safe workplace, hazard identification and assessment and control of associated risks)

workers' compensation (this would include insurance requirements, injury reporting and occupational rehabilitation requirements)

workplace relations

legal liability and duty of care of customers

environmental protection (this would include requirements that must be met for environmental hazard identification, use of minimal impact practices and reporting of incidents)
