Te Kaiāwhina Ahumahi Social
Services Industry Training Organisation has completed the review of the unit
standards listed above.
Date new versions published
November 2007
Planned review date
December 2012
Summary of review and consultation
process
The review of the youth work unit standards came about
as a result of the need to improve the standards to better reflect the youth
work industry. The
feedback from members of the youth work industry, including providers, youth
workers, youth work employers, students, and work place assessors clearly
identified the need to improve the standards.
The review has been guided by the requirement to ensure
that the appropriate knowledge, skills, and values were focussed on,
particularly in light of the Youth Development Strategy
Aotearoa.
Te Kaiāwhina Ahumahi began the review process in 2004,
and this has involved:
·
focus
groups of stakeholders, including education and training providers, youth
workers, and employers
·
a review
of the outcomes of all moderation activities since the unit standards were
registered, and consultation with the National Moderator and Te Kaiaromatawai o
Te Motu
·
communications from various stakeholders since the unit
standards were first registered
·
consultation with industry experts on specific unit
standards.
Main changes resulting from the
review
The review process has resulted in the following changes
to the unit standards:
·
new titles for some unit standards (for accuracy,
consistency, and style)
·
credit
changes for some unit standards, largely to correct errors in the original
credit decisions
·
level
changes for some unit standards, largely to correct errors in the original level
decisions
·
addition of Youth Development Strategy Aotearoa special note to most
unit standards
·
editing of special notes
for format, consistent use of language and concepts, references to resources,
removal of redundant special notes, and legislative
changes
·
improvement in the
specification of elements and performance criteria
·
extensive revisions to
formatting of range statements and specifications of evidence for unit
standards
·
removal
of overlaps between unit standards
·
unit
standards that were no longer required by industry have been designated expiring
(category D)
·
updating
unit standards as required to reflect current practice or
legislation.
The
review process has more clearly specified the different competencies required at
all levels for the practice of youth work.
The review has led to the development of 12 new unit standards to deal
with the needs of industry.
Unit standards
categorised as category C or D expire at the end of December
2010.
