This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to assess the regulatory requirements that impact on a complex event comprising multiple components, and to incorporate appropriate responses into event planning and management.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Analyse regulatory issues that impact on event management.
- 1.1 Analyse event information to determine the scope and nature of regulatory issues to be considered.
- 1.2 Research and assess the impact of specific event regulatory issues on event planning and operation.
- 1.3 Analyse specific risk management issues for identified regulatory requirements and incorporate into overall risk management planning.
- 1.4 Establish and assess the role of different stakeholders in relation to regulatory issues.
- 1.5 Assess the need for specialist planning and operational advice or assistance to address regulatory requirements.
2 Establish strategies for working with regulatory authorities.
- 2.1 Determine the scope and complexity of required or desirable liaison with regulatory authorities.
- 2.2 Identify key organisations and individuals and establish effective consultation and communication processes.
- 2.3 Include representatives from appropriate agencies in event management structures and consultation processes.
3 Develop plans and procedures to address regulatory requirements.
- 3.1 Integrate approach to plans and procedures addressing regulatory issues, into broader event management structures, processes and constraints.
- 3.2 Develop and document specific procedures that address event regulatory requirements.
- 3.3 Develop and monitor the production of any required compliance documentation.
- 3.4 Identify critical tasks and allocate responsibilities and timelines.
- 3.5 Develop and articulate contingency and critical incident procedures in relation to all regulatory requirements.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence of the following is essential:
ability to analyse, assess and respond to the range of regulatory issues affecting an event to ensure event compliance
sound knowledge of the range of regulatory issues that affect different aspects of event staging, relevant networks and information sources
practical demonstration of skills through development of plans and procedures to address the regulatory requirements of a specific complex event.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure:
access to a complex event for which regulatory requirements must be addressed
interaction with others to reflect the communication and negotiation aspects of the unit
use of current regulatory information.
Methods of assessment
A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:
evaluation of strategies and operational plans prepared by the candidate to address regulatory issues
case studies to assess candidate's ability to develop approaches for a range of different events
questions to assess detailed knowledge of different regulatory requirements and issues
review of portfolios of evidence and third-party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate.
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended.
Assessing employability skills
Employability skills are integral to effective performance in the workplace and are broadly consistent across industry sectors. How these skills are applied varies between occupations and qualifications due to the different work functions and contexts.
Employability skills embedded in this unit should be assessed holistically with other relevant units that make up the skill set or qualification and in the context of the job role.
