PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD

The learner achieving this unit standard in combination with other content-related standards will be able to perform effective and efficient safety and emergency care within the Sport and Fitness context. They will do this through exercising control and application of the rules of the Sport and Fitness activity.

This unit standard, combined with other core and elective Sport and Fitness standards in a national certificate in Sport and Fitness Leadership (NQF 4) will provide the learner with the competence to practise as a Sport and Fitness leader. In addition they will be well positioned to extend their learning and practice into other areas of Sport or Fitness disciplines, or to strive towards professional standards and practices at higher levels.

Competent leaders in Sport and Fitness will provide quality experiences to participants and thus strengthen the profession in general.

LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING

It is assumed that a learner entering a program leading to this unit standard is in possession of a First Aid Certificate, level 1.

UNIT STANDARD RANGE

Guides to the scope and complexity of the specific outcomes and essential embedded knowledge are provided in bullet points beneath each. These are prefaced by "for example" since they are neither comprehensive nor necessarily appropriate to all contexts. Alternatives must however be comparable in scope and complexity. These are intended only as a general guide to scope and complexity of what is required.

Specific Outcomes and Assessment Criteria:

SPECIFIC OUTCOME 1

Demonstrate an understanding of safety principles related to the activity.

OUTCOME NOTES

1. Demonstrate an understanding of safety principles related to the activity.
For Example:

Equipment.

Facility/venue.

Specific safety principles pertaining to individuals with disabilities.

ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 1

When conducting assessments, assessors must ensure that they are familiar with the full text of the Unit Standards being assessed.

They must ensure that the assessment covers the specific outcomes, critical cross-field outcomes and essential embedded knowledge.

As each situation is different, it will be necessary to develop assessment activities and tools, which are appropriate to the context in which practitioners are working. These activities and tools may include self-assessment, peer assessment, formative and summative assessment.

The specific outcomes and essential embedded knowledge must be assessed in relation to each other. If a practitioner is able to explain the essential embedded knowledge but is unable to perform the specific outcomes, they should not be assessed as competent. Similarly, if a practitioner is able to perform the specific outcomes but is unable to explain or justify their performance in terms of the essential embedded knowledge, they should not be assessed as competent.

METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
Assessment should include practical demonstration of competence, either in the workplace or through work-realistic, out-of-classroom simulation.

A range of assessment methods should be used, including:

Direct observation - watch the practitioner carry out the task or produce a desired outcome during the course of his or her normal work under normal workplace conditions
Product sample - examine the outcomes previously produced by the practitioner
Simulation of a specific task - set a specific task for the practitioner to demonstrate in a simulated environment
Questioning (verbal or written) - ask relevant questions linked to the unit standard
Testimony - collect a portfolio of evidence from suitable people (e.g.: reports from a third party)

Integrated assessment
It may be more effective and efficient to assess a number of unit standards together thus reducing the overall number of assessment 'events'.

Consider a complete activity in the workplace (the 'whole of work' approach) and see which unit standards relate to this activity.

Work out how practitioners could collect evidence on a number of unit standards at the same time covering all the critical aspects of the standards.

Ensure that commonalities that exist between a number of unit standards are captured in a way that makes sense for assessment.

Assessing the following will ensure the specific outcomes; essential embedded knowledge and critical-cross-field outcomes are assessed:
Demonstrated ability to make DECISIONS about practice and to ACT accordingly:
1. Principles of safe practices are applied during activities.
2. The role of rules of the activity in the prevention of injuries is explained.
3. Possible problem areas are identified during the preparation of the facility/venue and/or activity and dealt with appropriately.
4. First aid and CPR are applied correctly.
5. Injuries are dealt with correctly and efficiently.
6. Incidents are reported.
7. Officials are briefed regarding safety procedures pertaining to the venue/facility and activity.

Demonstrated ability to learn from our actions and to ADAPT PERFORMANCE:
8. Causes of the incident are correctly identified and future prevention is suggested.
9. Rules of the game are maintained through effective officiating.
10. Reflect on, measure and evaluate performance in order to improve future practice and learning.
