Summary

 

The standards above were designated expiring by NZQA in 2008 prior to coverage for Core Health being transferred to Careerforce.  To allow time for learners to complete programmes using the expiring standards, the last date for assessment against the expiring standards was set at 31 December 2012.

 

As a result of consultation with stakeholders twelve unit standards were identified as potentially having on-going usefulness: the ten listed above and unit standards 6420 and 6425.  Once the decision was made to reinstate the standards a panel was established to carry out the review.  Consideration was given to reinstating the unit standards 6420 and 6425 but it was decided to write two new, more relevant, standards.

 

Main changes

 

·      All reinstated standards have a changed classification, changed CMR and changed SSB contact details.

·      A new outcome was added to, and an outcome was removed from, unit standard 12700 to more closely align the outcomes with normality rather than abnormality.

·      A new outcome was added to unit standard 12722 to provide a more coherent structure for this standard.

·      The credit value was increased for unit standards 12700, 12722, 12728, 12730 and 12731 to more accurately reflect the time required for learners to complete these standards.

·      Evidence requirements and range statements were amended in several unit standards.

·      New unit standards 27885 and 27886 were developed.

Impact on Consent and Moderation Requirements (CMR)

 

Coverage of the standards listed above has changed from CMR 104 to CMR 24.

 

Impact on existing qualifications

 

No Careerforce qualifications are impacted by the outcome of this review.

 

Impacts on qualifications developed by other SSBs that were indicated in the change report published at the time the unit standards listed were designated expiring (Core Health - Review) have been resolved by reviews of those qualifications.

 

A number of qualifications were identified in that change report as including the expiring domain Health Studies > Core Health as a source of potential credits.  Such qualifications may need revision before the standards in this domain expire.  One solution would be to replace the domain Health Studies > Core Health with the domain Health, Disability, and Aged Support > Core Health in qualifications impacted in this way.
