The learning outcome states what you must know, or be able to do in your role as a health and social care worker. The learning outcomes have assessment criteria stating what you need to do to achieve the learning outcome. Your ability to meet the assessment criteria and achieve the learning outcomes for each standard will be assessed by a nominated colleague/s or an external assessor/s. Assessment criteria that require you to show you are able to do something require an observation of your performance. This means your assessor/nominated colleague will watch you performing your duties at work. The elearning course you have completed covered all of the knowledge required for this unit. However, you will need to demonstrate your knowledge and understanding by completing the questions in this pack; in a one to one discussion or as part of a group exercise.

When you have finished the questions you must pass them to your assessor. Page 2 of 20
