Accreditation and Moderation Action Plan for Mental Health Support Work |
Responsibility for the unit standards and Accreditation and Moderation Action Plan (AMAP) referred to above, which were registered during February 1998, July 2001, and December 2002, has been transferred from NZQA Mental Health Support to the Community Support Services Industry Training Organisation.
Date new versions published October 2005
Rationale for the change
The change of responsibility has been actioned because the Mental Health Support Worker Advisory Group has joined the Community Support Services Industry Training Organisation (CSSITO) as a consequence of the New Zealand Qualifications Authority exit strategy for a number of its advisory groups.
Outline of main changes
Unit standards
The unit standards have been reviewed, amended to show CSSITO responsibility, and published as new versions - see Review section below.

Summary of review and consultation process
The review of these unit standards and the associated qualification followed major published industry evaluations initiated by the Mental Health Support Worker Advisory Group with Māori, Pacific, and Mainstream sectors. Copies of the three evaluation reports are available for download from the Platform website at:
http://www.platform.org.nz/links/platform_1_72.php
The evaluations revealed a number of concerns from Māori and Pacific sectors that can be summarised as a lack of relevant cultural content in the existing unit standards and qualification. However, the evaluations show that there is continuing demand from all sectors of the industry for an entry-level qualification. There is also a need for a higher-level qualification. The review also determined that all unit standards and qualifications in this domain should be based on the recovery approach to mental health (ref: Mental Health Commission. 2001. Recovery competencies for New Zealand mental health workers. Wellington: Mental Health Commission).
The review was carried out by the Mental Health Support Worker Advisory Group, which moved from NZQA to the Community Support Services Industry Training Organisation at the conclusion of the review. To carry out this review, the three evaluations, a previous review consultation with the industry, and moderation reports were considered, and additional consultation took place on drafts of the reviewed unit standards with consumer/tangata whai ora stakeholders, and employers in District Health Boards and non-governmental organisations. The moderator was also sent the briefing paper and consultation drafts.
Main changes resulting from the review
Reconciliation of all unit standards with the recovery approach to mental health
· Consolidation of a number of related unit standards into single unit standards
· New titles for some unit standards (for accuracy, consistency, and style)
· Level and credit changes for some unit standards
· Editing of special notes for format, consistent use of language and concepts, references to resources, removal of redundant special notes, legislative change
· Improvement in the specification of elements, performance criteria, range notes, and specification of evidence requirements
· Improvement in internal consistency in individual unit standards and between groups of unit standards.
Unit standards categorised as category C or D expire at the end of December 2007.
