Careerforce is reviewing two Human Services unit standards that are currently listed on the Directory of Assessment Standards (DAS) at levels 3 and 4.
We invite stakeholders and programme providers to provide feedback on the revised unit standards.
If your organisation wishes to comment on the proposed amended units, please reply to [email protected] before the close of business on Wednesday 27 November 2019.
The following changes have been made to both standards:
- Formatting now complies with NZQA’s current template. Please note that ‘Outcome’ is NZQA’s current syntax – this replaces the term ‘Element’.
- References to legislation, codes and documentation have been updated and expanded;
- Edits have been made to wording in the standards for greater clarity;
- The last date for assessment using the current versions of these standards is 31 December 2021.
Select the unit standard titles to read the revised unit standard document.
| Unit Standard | Title | Level | Credit |
| 16874 | Demonstrate an ability to support a person with a communication impairment | 4 | 5 |
| 23373 | Demonstrate knowledge of the impact of mental illness on a person with intellectual disability | 3 | 3 |
