Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
In addition to integrated demonstration of the elements and their related performance criteria, look for evidence that confirms consistency of performance in contributing to the development of legislation and related documents.
This will include evidence of:
participating in at least three actual or simulated development and evaluation activities on three separate occasions or for three different situations/contexts
communicating with a range of stakeholders to provide guidance, progress reports and outcomes of development activities
adhering to legal, ethical and organisational requirements relating to the development of legislation and related documents
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure access to a real or simulated workplace environment that closely resembles normal work practice and replicates the range of conditions likely to be encountered while contributing to the development of legislation and related documents, including coping with difficulties, irregularities and breakdowns in routine.
Access is required to resources such as:
applicable legislation, policies and procedures
case studies and workplace scenarios to capture the range of requirements for situations likely to be encountered
real or simulated technology to allow for use in communicating and preparing documents.
