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!

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, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package.

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

Assessment must confirm the ability to:

plan a surveillance operation, taking into account resources and operational variables.

Consistency in performance

Competency should be demonstrated over time in a range of workplace or simulated situations.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Context of assessment

Competency should be assessed over time in a range of workplace or simulated situations.

Specific resources for assessment

There are no specific resource requirements for this unit.

Method of assessment

In a public safety environment assessment is usually conducted via direct observation in a training environment or in the workplace via subject matter supervision and/or mentoring, which is typically recorded in a competency workbook.

Assessment is completed using appropriately qualified assessors who select the most appropriate method of assessment.

Assessment may occur in an operational environment or in an industry-approved simulated work environment. Forms of assessment that are typically used include:

direct observation

interviewing the candidate

journals and workplace documentation

third party reports from supervisors

written or oral questions

Required Skills and Knowledge

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

Required Skills

analyse situations, in particular apply logic and reasoning to identify appropriate choice of equipment and observation posts

apply operational safety procedures

communicate in writing, in particular provide clear comprehensive, accurate and chronologically sequenced written documentation

communicate orally (listen, establish rapport, negotiate, manage conflicts)

make decisions and solve problems to accommodate contingencies during surveillance of subjects

manage time effectively

Required Knowledge

available resources which may need to be deployed to support the investigation such as the provision of surveillance, technical support

case management systems and the range of contexts in which this can be applied

correct interpretation of all applicable laws, policies and procedures

different types of activity and their elements

ethics, cultural issues/impacts

government and policy environments within which operations will be conducted

information management systems and databases

role and functions of other agencies who conduct surveillance

security issues and classifications

security/monitoring devices

surveillance principles and the range of surveillance techniques

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 in the Performance Criteria is detailed below.

Operational and environmental factors may include:

Any information and/or intelligence which impacts on the formulation of the planning process such as:

climatic conditions

coverage period

likely courses of action

own resources

population orientation

socioeconomic climate

subject/s resources

topography

Resources may include:

Financial

Human

Internal or external in origin

Physical
