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!

PUAEMR003B - Determine treatment strategies

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

Identify range of treatment options

  1. Community vulnerability is reconsidered as a basis for identifying treatment options
  2. Existing prevention, preparedness, response and recovery strategies are identified through research and stakeholder consultation
  3. A range of potential treatment options including prevention, preparedness, response and recovery strategies, risk transfer, financial provision, or risk acceptance are identified through researching current best practice, alternative options, and seeking expert opinion

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

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

appropriate strategy(s) selected and supported by the community

Consistency in performance

Candidates should be expected to present evidence from at least one real event or potential event of major impact or one or more simulations or combination of real and simulated conditions

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Context of assessment

Evidence of competence in this unit should be collected in one or more actual situations or scenarios where there is the capacity to demonstrate the required evidence in a real or simulated environment

Specific resources for assessment

For the demonstration of competence in this unit it will be necessary to provide a real life environment and/or simulations based on real life incidents. These resources may involve complex scenarios sufficient to allow evidence to be gathered from a variety of sources and stakeholders on more than one occasion and over an extended period of time. Controlled access to organisational records and personnel may have significant cost implications for the staging of scenarios. Underpinning knowledge may be assessed through written assignments, project reports, debriefings and action learning projects

Guidance information for assessment

Information that will assist or guide assessment will be written during Phase II of the Review of the PUA00 Public Safety Training Package.
