Summary

 

Learning State has completed a full review of the unit standards in the Public Sector Māori domain.  This was completed in consultation with public sector organisations, including Te Puni Kokiri, and Māori Qualification Services of NZQA (MQS) and the Local Government ITO.  ETITO were consulted regarding the review of 14943 and 16218 as these standards impact on the National Certificate of Offender Management (Level 5). 

 

The purpose of the review was to ensure the unit standards were relevant, logical, fit for purpose and met industry requirements as well as to identify any new unit standards currently required by the sector.

 

The review found that many of the unit standards had very little or no usage and were no longer fit for purpose.  Based on this information and feedback from the sector, it was decided to designate 13 of the 19 reviewed unit standards expiring. 

 

Amendments were made to the remaining unit standards to ensure they are still relevant and better reflect the requirements of the sector.  In addition, eight new unit standards were developed for the Public Sector Māori domain.  There were no current standards covering these competencies and consultation with public sector organisations confirmed the need of including these standards within some of the public sector qualifications.  

 

Main changes

 

·      Standards 16210-16213, 16215-16217, 16219-16223 and 20478 are designated expiring as the content is either duplicated in other standards, or they are no longer relevant.

·      Explanatory notes have been standardised for consistency, and relevant legislation has been updated.

·      Titles of standards 14943 and 14950 were changed from a State sector context to a public sector context to include a wider coverage of the industry.  Public sector includes organisations listed in the Public Sector Directory at http://psd.govt.nz/list/index.php.      

·      The title, outcomes and evidence requirements for standard 16224 have been amended to clarify its overall outcome and to better reflect sector requirements.

·      Outcomes and evidence requirements for standard 16218 were amended to better reflect sector requirements.

·      Last dates of assessment for superseded versions of standards were specified.  This date is 31 December 2012.

 

The category D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2012
