Assessment instructions
Overview
Prior to commencing the assessments, your traine
assessor will explain each assessment task and the terms and conditions relating to the submission of your assessment task. Please consult with your traine
assessor if you are unsure of any questions. It is important that you understand and adhere to the terms and conditions, and address fully each assessment task. If any assessment task is not fully addressed, then your assessment task will be returned to you for resubmission. Your traine
assessor will remain available to support you throughout the assessment process.
Written work
Assessment tasks are used to measure your understanding and underpinning skills and knowledge of the overall unit of competency. When undertaking any written assessment tasks, please ensure that you address the following criteria:
· Address each question including any sub-points
· Demonstrate that you have researched the topic thoroughly
· Cover the topic in a logical, structured manner
· Your assessment tasks are well presented, well referenced and word processed
· Your assessment tasks include your full legal name on each and every page.
Active participation
It is a condition of enrolment that you actively participate in your studies. Active participation is completing all the assessment tasks on time.
Plagiarism
Plagiarism is taking and using someone else's thoughts, writings or inventions and representing them as your own. Plagiarism is a serious act and may result in a learner’s exclusion from a course. When you have any doubts about including the work of other authors in your assessment, please consult your traine
assessor. The following list outlines some of the activities for which a learner can be accused of plagiarism:
· Presenting any work by another individual as one's own unintentionally
· Handing in assessments markedly similar to or copied from another learne
· Presenting the work of another individual or group as their own work
· Handing in assessments without the adequate acknowledgement of sources used, including assessments taken totally or in part from the internet.
If it is identified that you have plagiarised within your assessment, then a meeting will be organised to discuss this with you, and further action may be taken accordingly.
Collusion
Collusion is the presentation by a learner of an assignment as their own that is, in fact, the result in whole or in part of unauthorised collaboration with another person or persons. Collusion involves the cooperation of two or more learners in plagiarism or other forms of academic misconduct and, as such, both parties are subject to disciplinary action. Collusion or copying from other learners is not permitted and will result in a “0” grade and NYC.
Assessments must be typed using document software such as (or similar to) MS Office. Handwritten assessments will not be accepted (unless, prior written confirmation is provided by the traine
assessor to confirm).
Competency outcome
There are two outcomes of assessments: S = Satisfactory and NS = Not Satisfactory (requires more training and experience).
Once the learner has satisfactorily completed all the tasks for this module the learner will be awarded “Competent” (C) or “Not yet Competent” (NYC) for the relevant unit of competency.
If you are deemed “Not Yet Competent” you will be provided with feedback from your assessor and will be given another chance to resubmit your assessment task(s). If you are still deemed as “Not Yet Competent” you will be required to re-enrol in the unit of competency.
Additional evidence
If we, at our sole discretion, determine that we require additional or alternative information/evidence in order to determine competency, you must provide us with such information/evidence, subject to privacy and confidentiality issues. We retain this right at any time, including after submission of your assessments.
Confidentiality
We will treat anything, including information about your job, workplace, employer, with strict confidence, in accordance with the law. However, you are responsible for ensuring that you do not provide us with anything regarding any third party including your employer, colleagues and others, that they do not consent to the disclosure of. While we may ask you to provide information or details about aspects of your employer and workplace, you are responsible for obtaining necessary consents and ensuring that privacy rights and confidentiality obligations are not
eached by you in supplying us with such information.
Assessment appeals process
If you feel that you have been unfairly treated during your assessment, and you are not happy with your assessment and/or the outcome as a result of that treatment, you have the right to lodge an appeal. You must first discuss the issue with your traine
assessor. If you would like to proceed further with the request after discussions with your traine
assessor, you need to lodge your appeal to the course coordinator, in writing, outlining the reason(s) for the appeal.
Recognised prior learning
Candidates will be able to have their previous experience or expertise recognised on request.
Special needs
Candidates with special needs should notify their traine
assessor to request any required adjustments as soon as possible. This will enable the traine
assessor to address the identified needs immediately.
Assessment requirements
Assessment can either be:
· Direct observation
· Product-based methods e.g. reports, role plays, work samples
· Portfolios – annotated and validated
· Questioning
· Third party evidence.
If submitting third party evidence, the Third Party Observation/Demonstration document must be completed by the agreed third party.
Third parties can be:
· Supervisors
· Trainers
· Team members
· Clients
· Consumers.
The third party observation must be submitted to your traine
assessor, as directed.
The third party observation is to be used by the assessor to assist them in determining competency.
The assessment activities in this workbook assess aspects of all the elements, performance criteria, skills and knowledge and performance requirements of the unit of competency.
To demonstrate competence in this unit you must undertake all activities in this workbook and have them deemed satisfactory by the assessor. If you do not answer some questions or perform certain tasks, and therefore you are deemed to be Not Yet Competent, your traine
assessor may ask you supplementary questions to determine your competence. Once you have demonstrated the required level of performance, you will be deemed competent in this unit.
Should you still be deemed Not Yet Competent, you will have the opportunity to resubmit your assessments or appeal the result.
As part of the assessment process, all learners must abide by any relevant assessment policies as provided during induction.
If you feel you are not yet ready to be assessed or that this assessment is unfair, please contact your assessor to discuss your options. You have the right to formally appeal any outcome and, if you wish to do so, discuss this with your traine
assessor.

Observation/Demonstration
Throughout this unit, you will be expected to show your competency of the elements through observations or demonstrations. Your traine
assessor will have a list of demonstrations you must complete or tasks to be observed. The observations and demonstrations will be completed as well as the activities found in this workbook.
An explanation of observations and demonstrations:
Observation is on-the-jo
The observation will usually require:
Performing a work based skill or task
Interaction with colleagues and/or customers.
Demonstration is off-the-jo
A demonstration will require:
Performing a skill or task that is asked of you
Undertaking a simulation exercise.
Your traine
assessor will inform you of which one of the above they would like you to do. The observation/demonstration will cover one of the unit’s elements.
The observation/demonstration will take place either in the workplace or the training environment, depending on the task to be undertaken and whether it is an observation or demonstration. Your traine
assessor will ensure you are provided with the co
ect equipment and/or materials to complete the task. They will also inform you of how long you have to complete the task.
You should be able to demonstrate the skills, knowledge and performance criteria required for competency in this unit, as seen in the Learner Guide.
Third Party Guide
You should supply details of the third party to the assessor before you commence the activities (see below), unless the assessor has already selected a third party themselves. The assessor can then contact the third party in instances where they require more evidence to determine competency, or they cannot observe certain tasks themselves.
The reasons to use a third party may include:
Assessment is required in the workplace
Where there are health and safety issues related to observation
Patient confidentiality and privacy issues are involved.
If you are not employed, or able to complete demonstrative tasks in the workplace, you will need to inform the assessor. They will be able to provide you with a simulated environment in which to complete these tasks.
We would prefer that, wherever possible, these be “live” issues for your industry and require application of the principles that you are learning as part of your training. Where this is not possible, you and your third party should simulate the activity tasks and demonstrations that you believe would be likely to arise in your organisation or job role.
Third party evidence can also be used to provide “everyday evidence” of tasks included in your work role that relate to the unit of competency but are not a part of the formal assessment process.
The third party is not to be used as a co-assessor – the assessor must make the final decision on competency themselves.
Documents relevant to collection of third party evidence are included in the Third Party section in the Observations/Demonstrations document.
Third party details (required information from the learner)
A third party may be required for observations or demonstrations; please provide details below of your nominated third party and obtain their signature to confirm their agreement to participate. This information will be required by your traine
assessor in advance of a
anging any future observations or demonstrations.

Activities
Complete the following activities individually or in a group (as applicable to the specific activity and the assessment environment).
Where applicable, a signed observation by either an approved third party or the assessor will need to be included in these activities as proof of completion.
Activity 1A
    Estimated Time
    40 Minutes
    Objective
    To provide you with an opportunity to review individualised plan and confirm required equipment, processes and aids.
    Activity
    Role-playing activity:
With a partner or the instructor playing the role of a client, discuss the details of the client’s care plan.
Choose three aspects of care provision that are subject to personal preference, and ask the client for their input on each, covering several areas of the chosen categories.
You may refer to chapter 1.1 of the unit for ideas.
The three aspects of personal care include hygiene-based assistance, care given to monitor and regulate nutrition effectively as well as ca
y out the role of professional care provider of the mobility and transport. The client would seek support over maintaining the personal hygiene due to the age factor. He is sixty five year old male retired from army services and thus, believes in disciplined ways of dealing with other care aspects like nutrition and mobility as well. He has given inputs to harmonize and balance the care options that are available for the proper implication of the selected three categories above.
Activity 1B
    Estimated Time
    60 Minutes
    Objective
    To provide you with an opportunity to identify requirements outside of scope of own role and seek support from relevant people.
    Activity
    1. Give an example of how you could confirm personal support requirements with a client.
Identify an aspect of personal care and list the questions you could ask the client and the choices they may have.
The personal requirements of the client will be confirmed by assessing the cu
ent position; it will matter how far he is able to manage the process of self-care and what are the areas where he anticipates external support. The questions will be related mostly to the diet plans and the mobility alternatives.
2. Identify a process that you are not qualified or trained to do.
What are the worst-case-scenario consequences for:
· You?
· The client(s)?
· The organisation?
Identify a piece of equipment that you are not qualified or trained to use.
As professional care provider, I am not well versed in mobility and transport based needs of the client. I would prefer...
