Description
This unit covers the competency required to establish and manage the implementation of a range of intervention strategies which can be used to reduce the risk to communities. No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Identify prevention, preparedness, response and recovery strategies
- 1.1 Characteristics of the risk are fully identified.
- 1.2 Existing prevention, preparedness, response and recoverystrategies are identified through research and stakeholder consultation.
- 1.3 Range of potential prevention, preparedness, response and recovery strategies is identified through researching current best practice, alternative options, and seeking expert opinion.
2. Evaluate draft strategies
- 2.1 Evaluation of draft strategies are carried out, and limitations and impacts are identified and communicated to stakeholders.
- 2.2 Feedback on draft strategies is obtained from stakeholders and collated.
- 2.3 Stakeholder needs are addressed and negotiated.
- 2.4 Draft strategies are reviewed taking stakeholder feedback into account.
3. Select strategies
- 3.1 Reviewed strategies are negotiated with stakeholders and agreement and commitment is obtained.
- 3.2 Strategies aredocumented according to organisational requirements.
- 3.3 Strategies are submitted for approval in line with organisational policies, procedures and guidelines.
4. Communicate approved strategies

- 4.2 Technologies and processes are selected which most effectively communicate the information.
5. Organise the implementation of documented strategies
- 5.1 Implementation strategies relevant to the risk are identified.
- 5.2 Actions required to implement the strategies are documented.
- 5.3 Action plans are developed to facilitate the implementation process.
- 5.4 Action plans are implemented with minimal conflict and disruption.
6. Review effectiveness of implemented strategies
- 6.1 Implementation review process is established.

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:
select appropriate strategies that will be supported by the community
implement action plans that are adopted by stakeholders
establish an implementation process that is current to the community it protects
Consistency in performance
Competency should be demonstrated over time and in a range of contexts
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Context of assessment
Competency should be assessed 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.
Specific resources for assessment
Access is required to:
information about incidents and/or simulations based on actual events - 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; controlled access to organisational records and personnel may have significant cost implications for the staging of scenarios
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 agency-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
