Date new versions published                                                          January 2016

Planned review date                                                                           December 2021

Summary

The review of the unit standard was prompted by feedback that the explanatory note imposed an unintended barrier to achievement.  The unit standard is widely used by people who only provide support to one person.  This created a significant barrier as the trainee could not achieve the unit standard requirements.

The current unit standard was reviewed to remove this barrier while ensuring that it remained fit for purpose.

Consultation on the changes was carried out with key sector representatives to seek feedback and endorsement during assessment development.

Main changes

· Explanatory Note (EN) 5 was removed.  The EN specified that evidence is required for two clients with a different health or functional status.

· Title, outcomes, and evidence requirements were amended from plural to singular to reflect the change.
