Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

AHCILM502A - Develop conservation strategies for cultural resources

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Define components of cultural heritage significance

  1. Geographic and operational boundaries for conservation policy are defined.
  2. Results of studies of cultural significance for places and areas within the boundaries are reviewed and collated to develop park/reserve/region significance.
  3. Limits of acceptable change in the forms of deterioration and damage to the places of cultural significance are developed to legislative and enterprise requirements.

Review past strategies, plans and activities

  1. Previous strategies and plans are compared with collated assessment of significance to determine compatibility.
  2. Current activities in the area are reviewed to assess their compatibility with the collated assessment of significance.
  3. Areas of incompatibility are documented to enterprise procedures.

Review current and potential resource uses

  1. Impact of current uses on the cultural resources, including setting and surrounds, is assessed against the set limits of acceptable change to determine success of conservation approach.
  2. Feasible uses and/or client requirements are assessed.
  3. Possible changes to uses are developed to ensure cultural values are maintained.

Identify threats to cultural places

  1. Threats to cultural significance, both external and internal to the area under consideration, are identified.
  2. A risk assessment is made of all threats to determine potential impact on strategies.
  3. Policy changes required to address the threats are documented to enterprise requirements.

Develop strategies for management of cultural resource

  1. Draft policy is developed to address the cultural significance that meets any shortfalls in previous strategies, allows for compatible resource uses, and addresses risks associated with any threats to the cultural values of the area.
  2. Consultations are conducted with stakeholders on draft policy in accordance with legislative, enterprise and good practice requirements.
  3. Consultations comply with cultural protocols and enterprise approaches to stakeholders.
  4. Draft strategies are modified to reflect stakeholder views as required in legislation, enterprise strategies and procedures and good practice.
  5. Strategies are submitted for approval to legislative and enterprise requirements.

Evidence Guide

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

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

The evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to workplace operations and satisfy holistically all of the requirements of the performance criteria and required skills and knowledge and include achievement of the following:

review the cultural features in the area and level of deterioration

assess the compatibility of current utilisation with cultural and heritage values

investigate feasible land uses that maintain the cultural integrity of the site

carry out a risk assessment for damage/deterioration to cultural sites

consult with stakeholders according to cultural protocols

develop strategies for management of cultural resources.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Competency requires the application of work practices under work conditions. Selection and use of resources for some worksites may differ due to the regional or enterprise circumstances.

Required Skills and Knowledge
