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!

CPPACC8004A - Develop policies and briefs relating to access to and use of the built environment

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

Develop access and use policy.

  1. Nature of project and demographics of occupants or users are researched and noted.
  2. Statistical information on the probable volume and range of disabilities in the occupant or user demographic groups is researched and noted.
  3. Applicable access and use compliance requirements are reviewed, and conflicting compliance provisions and areas that are not the subject of legislation are identified and noted.
  4. Project clients and relevant stakeholders are consulted, notes on initial findings are discussed, and access and use design policy is developed and documented within required timeframe.

Instructions to Assessors

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.

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

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to provide evidence of the required skills and knowledge specified in this unit.

In particular, the person should demonstrate the ability to:

produce design policies and briefs for three different projects, including:

consult with a range of clients to develop an agreed access and use policy for each project

analyse project documentation with reference to project access and use design policy, and propose suitable solutions to access and use requirements

present proposed solutions to clients and assist in selection of options

develop and report on access and use solutions, including detailed specifications and rationales.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge may be conducted in an off-site context and is to comply with regulatory and Australian standards’ requirements.

Resource implications for assessment include access to:

documentation for three different projects requiring access and use policies and design briefs

relevant legislation, codes, standards and guidelines

relevant personnel.

Method of assessment

Assessment methods must:

satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of the CPP07 Property Services Training Package

include direct observation of tasks in real or simulated work conditions, with questioning to confirm the ability to consistently identify and correctly interpret the essential underpinning knowledge required for practical application

reinforce the integration of employability skills with workplace tasks and job roles

confirm that competency is verified and able to be transferred to other circumstances and environments.

Guidance information for assessment

This unit could be assessed on its own or in combination with other units relevant to the job function.

Reasonable adjustments for people with disabilities must be made to assessment processes where required. This could include access to modified equipment and other physical resources, and the provision of appropriate assessment support.

Assessment processes and techniques should, as far as is practical, take into account the language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate in relation to the competency being assessed.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

language and literacy skills to:

exchange complex information with people from diverse backgrounds using relevant language and format

interpret complex legal and technical documents regarding access to and use of the built environment, such as:

Australian and international standards

National Construction Code (NCC) deemed-to-satisfy requirements, performance requirements and alternative solutions

Disability (Access to Premises – Buildings) Standards, known as the Premises Standards (PS)

Disability Discrimination Act

research papers

learning skills to assimilate information about diverse disabilities and access and use requirements

numeracy skills to assess cost-effectiveness of solutions

planning and organising skills to:

categorise different areas of projects

meet timelines for service provision

problem-solving skills to:

analyse access and use issues for people with disabilities

identify gaps and conflicts in compliance requirements and develop solutions

technical skills to:

develop solutions to access and use issues

interpret design documentation, including visualising environments in three-dimensions (3-D), and conducting a cognitive ‘walk through’ of environments applying access and use principles

technology skills to prepare project documentation

Required knowledge

access and use compliance requirements, including but not restricted to:

codes

guidelines

legislation

local authority policies

protocols

regulations

standards

accessibility requirements relating to equipment used by people with disabilities, such as:

assistance animals

audio frequency induction loops

braille and tactile signage

long white canes

TTY telephones

walking frames

wheelchairs

best practices in access and use, including measures that exceed compliance requirements

gaps and trends in, interrelation of, and conflict between compliance requirements

policy development, and legislative and regulatory frameworks relating to access to and use of the built environment

principles of access to and use of the built environment, including:

adaptable design

best practice solutions to access and use requirements

principles of ergonomics

types of disabilities and combinations of disabilities and related range of functional limitations, including:

auditory

cognitive

mobility

muscle wasting and weakness

psychiatric

vision

scope of functions of the human body, including:

auditory and visual processing

cognitive functions

mobility

psychiatric conditions

Range Statement

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, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Nature of project may include:

clients, including:

community organisations

government departments

individuals

private companies

extent and type of stakeholder involvement

type of development project, including:

outdoor spaces, such as:

car parks

parks and gardens

premises, including:

commercial

industrial

residential

transport systems and services, including:

public transport stops and stations

public transport vehicles.

Access and use compliance requirements may include:

Australian and international standards

Australian and international guideline documents

Disability Discrimination Act and regulations and amendments

Disability (Access to Premises – Buildings) Standards

Disability Standards for Accessible Public Transport (DSAPT)

NCC

state, territory and local authority legislation, regulations and planning requirements.

Project documentation may include:

concept sketches

construction design brief

feasibility study.

Report may comprise consideration of:

a design that relies on full or partial exemption from the requirements of the NCC as applied by state or territory building legislation

the likelihood of a successful defence of a design on the grounds of unjustifiable hardship should a complaint be made.
