Verified assessment 4 Centre assessor and quality assurance personnel requirements This section provides information on centre assessor and quality assurance personnel requirements for verified qualifications. 4.1 Assessment centre requirements The occupational expertise of those undertaking the roles of assessment and internal quality assurance is one of the key factors underpinning valid, fair and reliable assessment. The integrity of assessments and quality assurance is of paramount importance. Your centre must: ensure there are sufficient qualified personnel to assess the expected number of candidates ensure there are sufficient qualified personnel to internally quality assure for the number of candidates and assessors, i.e. you must have at least one assessor and one Internal Quality Assurer (IQA) to run these qualifications put systems and internal quality assurance personnel in place to ensure that all assessments are valid, reliable, safe and manageable and suitable to the needs of the candidate ensure evidence is authentic and sufficient ensure there is a standardisation process in place to ensure that all assessments are consistent and fair ensure those undertaking the roles of quality assurance and assessment maintain their skills, knowledge and understanding regarding assessment and quality assurance and the associated qualification ensure there is sufficient time to conduct effective assessment and internal quality assurance ensure any corrective measures, identified by OCR external verifiers and OCR, are addressed. 4.2 Centre assessor responsibilities Assessment is an activity carried out by an individual either as a specific role or as part of a wider role, e.g. teacher, tutor, supervisor, manager. All centre assessors must: have the role of assessor identified within their role profile be occupationally competent, according to current sector practice, in the functions covered by the units they are assessing be familiar with the units that relate to the qualification OCR Level 5 Diploma In Leadership for Health and Social Care and Children and Young People's Services (England) 24

Verified assessment be able to interpret and make judgements on current working practices and technologies within the area of work actively engage in continuous professional development activities to keep up-to-date with developments within the sector judge candidates work against the assessment criteria identified in the units identify valid and sufficient evidence ensure authentication of candidates work (see section 5.8) identify gaps in evidence and ensure these are resolved before the unit is claimed give feedback to candidates liaise with other assessors in the centre to ensure assessment decisions are consistent and to the required standard confirm candidate achievement by completing and signing the required OCR documentation maintain records of candidates achievements needed in the event of any submission or results enquiries. 4.3 Expert Witnesses Expert witnesses can be drawn from a wide range of people who can confirm performance in the workplace, including line managers and experienced colleagues from inside the candidate s organisation. Expert witnesses must have proven practical experience and knowledge relating to the content of the unit being assessed. The assessor will make the final judgement. The expert witness is not consulted as a professional assessor, but as someone who is expert in the occupation to be assessed. It is unlikely that someone could become an expert in their entire job role in less than six to twelve months of being employed in the Health and Social Care sector. They could, however, very quickly become an expert in the content of a single unit if this was the focus of their job role. The assessor should make a judgement as to the level of expertise held by a potential expert witness. 4.4 Internal Quality Assurance Personnel (IQA) Internal quality assurance is an activity carried out by an individual either as a specific role or as part of an individual s wider role. The IQA should have sufficient level of understanding to allow them to judge whether the assessor has fully assessed candidates against all the assessment criteria in the unit. IQAs must: be occupationally knowledgeable across the range of units for which they are responsible prior to commencing the role agree the use of simulated activities before they take place and must sample all evidence produced through simulated activities OCR Level 5 Diploma In Leadership for Health and Social Care and Children and Young People's Services (England) 25

Verified assessment sample the assessment process to ensure accurate and consistent decisions between centre assessors against the qualification standards provide feedback to assessors to resolve differences on assessment decisions ensure assessment has been carried out by assessors who are occupationally competent within the area they are assessing actively engage in continuous professional development activities in order to keep up-to-date with developments within the sector respond appropriately to corrective measures identified by OCR external verifiers and OCR. 4.5 Continuing Professional Development (CPD) All centre assessors and internal quality assurance personnel need to prove they have current working knowledge of the sector. This can be demonstrated by keeping records of evidence from occupational activities such as: Internal or external work experience Internal or external work shadowing Other relevant CPD activities.

Verified assessment 5 Verified assessment This section provides guidance on verified assessment: how to plan and manage assessment and what controls must be applied throughout the process. Your centre must comply with OCR s criteria for verified qualifications. 5.1 Overview of the assessment These qualifications are internally assessed by centre assessors and quality assured by internal quality assurance personnel and externally verified by OCR. Teaching and Learning Tutors must make sure the teaching content for each criterion is fully addressed so that candidates can effectively meet the requirements. Where teaching content is contained within the unit, it is not exhaustive and may be expanded or tailored to particular contexts in which the unit is being taught and the assessment criteria applied. We recommend that teaching and development of subject content and associated skills be referenced to real-life situations, using appropriate work-based contact and vocationally experienced delivery personnel. Evidence The Health and Social Care sector s competence-based qualifications recognise competence in the workplace. Therefore evidence of competence should come from workplace activity and reflect attainment within an organisational context. When you are satisfied that your candidate has met all of the requirements for a unit, you must sign an evidence record sheet to confirm the assessment process is complete. 5.2 Assessment and the Data Protection Act It is the centre s responsibility to ensure that candidates comply with the Data Protection Act when producing evidence for summative assessment. More information about the candidate s responsibility is available in section 5.11. 5.3 Initial assessment of candidates It is important that you carry out an initial assessment to identify candidates level of competence, knowledge and understanding and any potential gaps that need to be addressed. This will also: help you and the candidates identify the most appropriate optional units allow you to plan the assessment enable candidates to understand the best place to start generating evidence. OCR Level 5 Diploma In Leadership for Health and Social Care and Children and Young People's Services (England) 27

See section 1.4 for information on Entry Requirements and Recognition of Prior Learning. Verified assessment 5.4 Planning assessment Centre assessors must take responsibility for planning assessment with candidates. This will involve discussing details with candidates including: agreeing the best source of evidence to use for particular units determining the best way of assessing the candidate confirming the best times, dates and places for the assessments to take place agreeing a flexible timetable for unit completion and assessment. Centre assessors must make a note of their assessment planning and regularly give feedback to candidates. 5.5 Real work Real work is where the candidate is engaged in activities that contribute to the aims of the organisation by whom they are employed for example in paid employment or working in a voluntary capacity or work placement. Where the candidate s performance is assessed within the workplace, this evidence should naturally occur within the candidate s work role. This will include the candidate s application of knowledge. This principle will apply to competence units, except where simulation is acceptable (see simulation). Workplace evidence may be gathered in full, part-time, casual or voluntary employment or a 'work placement', e.g. fulltime students placed into a working environment for a day per week. Supporting evidence for any work experience from a supervisor or manager must add to the assessment process. 5.6 Simulation Simulation is not allowed. However, where access to assessment is put at risk by this, guidance should be sought from us and we will decide whether simulation should be allowed in conjunction with the Sector Skills Council. OCR Level 5 Diploma In Leadership for Health and Social Care and Children and Young People's Services (England) 28

Verified assessment 5.7 Methods of assessment We have identified the main assessment methods suitable for these qualifications: observation of practice by the assessor or expert witness for occupational specific units questioning the candidate or witness by the assessor professional discussion examining work products e.g. business letters, spreadsheets, diagrams examining written evidence e.g. assignments, tasks, projects or tests examining evidence from others. It is your responsibility to agree the best method of assessing a candidate in relation to their individual circumstances. The methods agreed must be: valid reliable safe and manageable suitable for the candidate. Valid A valid assessment method is capable of measuring the knowledge or skills in question. For example, a written test cannot measure a candidate s practical skills or their ability to work well with others. Validity can be compromised if a candidate does not understand what is required of them. For example, a valid method of assessing a candidate s knowledge and understanding is to question them. If the questions are not relevant to the qualification or how they are phrased makes it difficult for the candidate to understand, the validity of the assessment method is threatened. As well as assessment methods being valid, the evidence presented must also be valid. For example, it would not be appropriate to simply present an organisation s policy on health and safety as evidence towards the assessment criteria of a unit, as it would not allow for valid assessment. It may be more appropriate for the candidate and centre assessor to have a discussion about the policy and for the candidate to explain how it is relevant, illustrated with examples from their work to show compliance with the policy requirements. This discussion could then be assessed by the assessor and recorded as evidence. Reliable A reliable method of assessment produces consistent results across different centre assessors on each assessment occasion. Internal quality assurance personnel (IQA) must make sure that all centre assessors decisions are consistent.
