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.  Government and non-government service providers, government officials, employer and employee representatives, and consumers were included.  Public and private training provider sectors 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).

 

As a result of review new standards for needs assessment coordinators in the health and disability sector have been developed.
