The Community Support Services Industry Training Organisation (CSSITO) has completed the review of the unit standard listed.
Date new versions published March 2008
Planned review date December 2013
Summary of review and consultation process
This unit standard was part of a review exercise that was initiated in 2004. A feature of the review was the initial two-day sector meeting sponsored by the ITO held in Wellington in May 2004. Prior to the meeting the community support services sector was extensively notified that the review was to be held and an open invitation to attend the meeting was offered. Over 150 people attended the meeting representing all industry sectors and included service providers, government and non-government, government officials, employer and employee representatives, and consumers. The training provider sectors, public and private, were also invited to attend through their respective professional associations. The meeting was an opportunity for all interested parties to air their views on current qualifications and their aspirations for future qualifications development. The review process was completed in 2006. Experts were sought and found to sit on review panels or Standard Setting Teams (SSTs).
The unit standards were submitted to NZQA in batches for review in conjunction with the relevant qualifications.
Main changes resulting from the review
· Unit standard 17029 was designated as expiring, standards 23920 and 23921 are replacements, and standards 23922 and 23923 contain supporting theory.
· Three new standards were developed to reflect industry requirements.
Unit standards categorised as category C expire at the end of December 2010.
