Careerforce is committed to protecting the privacy and confidentiality of learners, employers, and the people they support, and ensuring compliance with the Privacy Act 2020, and all relevant codes. To support this commitment, all learners and observers must ensure that assessments do not contain any information that could identify an individual.
Please make sure you always remove or replace:
- Names (people, whānau, clients, staff, supervisors)
- Company or organisation names, or job titles that could identify a person
- Addresses or location details
- Dates of birth
- Phone numbers, email addresses, or ID numbers
- Exact dates if sensitive (replace with ‘early [year]’)
- Any other information that could identify an individual or organisation
If your assessment requires you to refer to real workplace situations or people, you should:
- Use made‑up names (for example, “Person A” or “the client”)
- Describe situations in general terms rather than using identifying details
Including personal or identifying information can be a breach of privacy and may result in your assessment being returned to you for correction before it can be marked.
If you are unsure about what information is appropriate to include, please discuss with your assessor before submitting your assessment.
