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

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

It is essential for this unit that competence be demonstrated in the development of a risk management strategic plan and an organisational structure which meet the organisation's public safety risk management needs and are consistent with its responsibilities and objectives.

Consistency in performance

Evidence should be gathered over a period of time in a range of actual or simulated workplace environments.

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 in conjunction with portfolio evidence Underpinning knowledge may be assessed through written assignments, project reports, debriefings and action learning projects.

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.
