In her previous role, reasonable adjustments were made to support Joanne with her dyslexia.
What are reasonable adjustments and what do you need to consider when planning her assessment?
Reasonable adjustments could be in the form of additional support or time for workbook completion or perhaps adaptations to a computer.
You should discuss with Joanne what additional support she may need and how this may appear as a reasonable adjustment.
Your line manager will be able to offer you with further support with this.
Knowing when to assess Joanne is a key part of the planning process. Assessing her too soon will not be fair.
Your own observations of her from when you have worked with her will help you to understand if she has the required knowledge and skills.
Feedback from other colleagues and conversations with her will also you help to know when you can start to plan assessment activities.
Her self-assessment has given you an overview of the current knowledge Joanne has.
You will also need to have an idea of her skill level before arranging an assessment.
It is important to allow Joanne enough time to practice her skills before you assess her.
What factors could you consider to decide if her skills are ready to be assessed?
Having considered all the available evidence, you decide that Joanne is ready to be assessed.
Reflecting on what you learned in the session Carrying out Care Certificate assessment in the workplace, how may a holistic approach help you when assessing Joanne?
Holistic assessment focuses on the whole work activities rather than specific elements. This helps you to make the best use of time as Joanne can cover a number of different Care Certificate standards at the same time.
