Summary

 

In February 2022 Ringa Hora Workforce Development Council invited input from providers and industry into the review of standards in this Domain. Unit standard 30896 was considered to be unfit for purpose and was rewritten to meet the actual needs of industry and providers. After further consultation in November 2022 the review was agreed to and completed.

 

Main changes

 

·                Definition of establishment requirements in Guidance Information was made uniform across unit standards.

·                Unit standard 30896 was upgraded in level and credits.

·                Outcome 1 of unit standard 27946 was amended to remove one pc and include a range under another pc.

·                The Standards Setting Body was changed from ServiceIQ to Ringa Hora Services Workforce Development Council

 

The last date for assessment of superseded versions of Category B unit standards is 31st December 2024
