Application
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to identify and analyse policy that has adult language, literacy and numeracy implications; and to formulate, implement and evaluate strategic responses within a training organisation. Knowledge of adult language, literacy and numeracy (LLN) theory and teaching approaches is also important in the development of the strategic response to policy. The unit applies to those in a training organisation with a leadership role in accessing, analysing and responding to policy.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Evidence of Performance
Evidence of the ability to:
access and analyse a broad range of policies that may impact on adult language, literacy and numeracy provision
identify potential impacts and opportunities that a policy may have for adult language, literacy and numeracy provision
develop a strategic response to the policy and an implementation plan that includes:
actions to be taken
approach to stakeholder management
roles and responsibilities
resources
feasibility
expected outcomes
timelines and milestones
evaluation criteria
process for review
lead the implementation of a strategic response to a policy in collaboration with relevant stakeholders
gather, collate and analyse feedback to evaluate the implementation of the policy response against criteria established in the implementation plan
document review outcomes according to organisational requirements and provide feedback to policy body as appropriate.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
Evidence of Knowledge
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
identify policy areas likely to impact on adult language, literacy and numeracy provision, including consideration of the relationships between international, federal, state and local policy
describe the impact of a particular policy change on the organisations’ operations
explain how theories of adult language, literacy and numeracy skill development and related program planning approaches are taken into account in the development of policy responses
explain how organisational procedures inform the way in which information and advice about policies and strategic responses is communicated to stakeholders.
Assessment Conditions
Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Conditions must be typical of those experienced in the language, literacy and numeracy practice field of work and include access to:
opportunities to participate in a range of practical exercises and projects
relevant policies
special purpose tools, equipment, materials and industry software packages.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
