Overview of assessment
This unit of competency could be assessed on its own or as part of an integrated assessment activity involving other competencies relevant to the job function.
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:
recognising the needs and desires of people with disabilities to engage fully in all aspects of society, and their right to do so
interpreting accurately the impacts of the full range of disabilities and the limitations that each disability places on the individual's ability to access the environment
interpreting accurately how the full range of environmental barriers impact on any of the impairments that people with disabilities might have
applying organisational management policies and procedures, including quality assurance requirements, to the presentation of public education sessions
identifying organisational objectives for conducting public education sessions
identifying the information needs of target groups
developing effective public education sessions with available resources
ensuring the information presented in the public education sessions is current, relevant and appropriate to the needs of the target groups
monitoring the public education sessions' content and delivery methods to gauge audience response
conducting regular reviews of the effectiveness of the sessions.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Resource implications for assessment include:
a registered provider of assessment services
competency standards
assessment materials and tools
suitable assessment venue/equipment
workplace documentation
candidate special requirements
cost and time considerations.
Validity and sufficiency of evidence requires that:
competency will need to be demonstrated over a period of time reflecting the scope of the role
where the assessment is part of a structured learning experience the evidence collected must relate to a number of performances assessed at different points in time and separated by further learning and practice
with a decision of competence only taken at the point when the assessor has complete confidence in the person's competence
all assessment that is part of a structured learning experience must include a combination of direct, indirect and supplementary evidence
where assessment is for the purpose of recognition (RCC/RPL), the evidence provided will need to be current and show that it represents competency demonstrated over a period of time
assessment can be through simulated project-based activity and must include evidence relating to each of the elements in this unit.
