Evidence Guide

EVIDENCE GUIDE 

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit 

appropriate strategy(s) selected and supported by the community

Consistency in performance 

Candidates should be expected to present evidence from at least one real event or potential event of major impact or one or more simulations or combination of real and simulated conditions

Context of and specific resources for assessment 

Context of assessment 

Evidence of competence in this unit should be collected in one or more actual situations or scenarios where there is the capacity to demonstrate the required evidence in a real or simulated environment

Specific resources for assessment 

For the demonstration of competence in this unit it will be necessary to provide a real life environment and/or simulations based on real life incidents. These resources may involve complex scenarios sufficient to allow evidence to be gathered from a variety of sources and stakeholders on more than one occasion and over an extended period of time. Controlled access to organisational records and personnel may have significant cost implications for the staging of scenarios. Underpinning knowledge may be assessed through written assignments, project reports, debriefings and action learning projects

Guidance information for assessment 

Information that will assist or guide assessment will be written during Phase II of the Review of the PUA00 Public Safety Training Package.
