Date new version published June 2007
Planned review date December 2012
Summary of review and consultation process
Feedback from key Learning State stakeholders supported the need to review Learning State's five main Core Skills unit standards.
· Initial feedback and comments were collated from State sector subject matter experts.
· Consultation was undertaken with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner, the Ombudsman, State Services Commission Legal and Governance departments, Archives New Zealand, and Learning State moderators and staff.
· For full and wider consultation, purposes feedback from additional departmental agencies and tertiary providers, including Te Kaiāwhina Ahumahi Social Services Industry Training Organisation Incorporated, and the Fire and Rescue Industry Training Organisation, was also considered.
Unit standard 19906 is being registered ahead of the others in the domain because the standard was out-of-date following the replacement of the Archives Act 1957 by the Public Records Act 2005.
Feedback from this full consultation process has informed the changes described below.
Main changes resulting from the review
Modifications were based on the following recommendations resulting from the consultation feedback:
· to update legislative references and accurately reflect policy changes within the State sector

· Title amended to better reflect the outcomes of the unit standards.
· Purpose statements amended to accommodate changes to the elements.
· Special notes updated, amended and/or reworded for clarification and accuracy
