Any observations and practical assessments must be recorded in the observation checklist. All
practical tasks should be demonstrated during the length of the course. As the instructor, you must
maintain a record demonstrating the date of the practical activities and any comments relevant to

P a g e | 6
the performance of each student. Where a student is not able to demonstrate competence in a
practical observation activity, further questioning should be put in its place.
As the instructor, you could be assessing the student’s literacy, numeracy and language skills, as well
as the content and context of his/her answers.
In some cases, you will have to adjust and amend the assessment tools, using different and varied
methods (such as oral assessment), to allow students to be assessed according to their needs and
abilities.
Assessment Tool Definitions
Assessment Tool How is it used? What is it?
Learner Workbook Activities
(Entire completion is required)
Each student should be given a Learner Workbook which
will hold a number of activities, both formative and
summative, that all need to be completed in conjunction
with the appropriate sessions. The PowerPoint, Learner
Guide and instructor should provide further information to
help with the activities.
Learner Guide
(To be used as an informational guide)
The Learner Guide links with the Learner Workbook as it
provides the information given during sessions and more. It
can help students to further their knowledge and to also
complete the activities.
Observation/Demonstration
(To be completed for each numbered point as
stated on the checklist)
An observation should be completed for each of the
students by the instructor. If the tasks aren’t everyday
actions, a simulated environment is acceptable, or a
demonstration can be set up. An observation checklist can
be found at the end of this document.
Skills and Knowledge Activity
(Entire completion is required)
A Skills and Knowledge Activity is a summative assessment
and is found before the Major Activity in the Learner
Workbook. This should take between 1-2 hours and every
student should complete this work. It is a requirement for
each unit to check knowledge and understanding of the
foundation skills and knowledge evidence.
Major Activity
(Entire completion is required)
A Major Activity is a summative assessment and can be
found in the Learner Workbook, after all of the activities
are completed. This is an extended piece of summative
assessment which should take anywhere between 1-2
hours and every student should complete this work. It is a
requirement for each unit to check knowledge and
understanding.

Observation/Demonstration
Throughout this unit, the learner will be expected to show their competency of the elements
through observations or demonstrations. The observations and demonstrations will be completed as
well as the formative and summative assessments found in the Learner Workbook. An explanation of
demonstrations and observations:
Demonstration is off-the-job
A demonstration will require:
 Performing a skill or task that is asked of you
 Undertaking a simulation exercise
Observation is on-the-job
The observation will usually require:
 Performing a work-based skill or task
 Interaction with colleagues and/or customers
The observation/demonstration will take place either in the workplace or the training environment,
depending on the task to be undertaken and whether it is an observation or demonstration. Each
task must be observed. You will need to ensure you provide the learner with the correct equipment
and/or materials to complete the task. You will also need to inform the learner of the time they have
to complete the task; this will once again vary, depending on the task.
Learner should be able to demonstrate they can:
1. Research diversity
2. Draft policy and plan for implementation
3. Implement diversity policy
4. Review diversity policy
Learners should also demonstrate the following skills:
