EVIDENCE GUIDE
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.
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
identifying and interpreting mandatory OHS duty of care requirements relevant to a specific work site
assessing site safety risks, hazards and other requirements that impact on site-specific access consulting tasks
adhering to work site safety requirements and signage
identifying and wearing appropriate items of PPE according to access consulting tasks occurring at the work site
identifying and applying the safety instructions and, where required, emergency evacuation procedures at the specific work site.
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.
