Assessment of this unit will be through the completion of a mandatory portfolio of evidence.
Assessment decisions for skills-based learning outcomes must be made during the learner’s normal work activity.
Skills-based assessment must include direct observation as the main source of evidence and must be carried out over an appropriate period of time.
Any knowledge evidence integral to skills-based learning outcomes may be generated outside of the work environment. The final assessment decision must show application of knowledge which relates to the work environment and the specific local authority procedures and arrangements for Safeguarding Adults.
