PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD

This unit standard is for learners and practitioners from occupational, vocational or corporate/commercial fields to equip them with effective reporting techniques. The rationale for this unit standard is based on the importance of creating and maintaining a safe society, especially in terms of contributions to improving safety in society by building and confirming knowledge regarding crime and victimisation.

This unit standard is designed to acquire knowledge regarding the reporting of the results of the strategy/programme and recommend changes where needed including:

Using different formats of reporting on the results of a strategy/programme.

Explaining and evaluating the results of a strategy/programme.

Making appropriate recommendations.

Learners become aware of the importance of reflecting and exploring a range of strategies to learn more effectively as they identify various factors that increase or influence crime and victimisation risk. They learn to participate as responsible citizens in the life of local, national and global communities, by identifying and address factors contributing to crime and victimisation. They learn the importance of being culturally sensitive across a range of social contexts in relating to all participants when identifying factors contributing to crime and victimisation on an individual, social and corporate level. The attaining of these outcomes will also contribute to the development of learners' entrepreneurial skills within the field.

This information shows the current accreditations (i.e. those not past their accreditation end dates), and is the most complete record available to SAQA as of today. Some Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionaries have a lag in their recording systems for provider accreditation, in turn leading to a lag in notifying SAQA of all the providers that they have accredited to offer qualifications and unit standards, as well as any extensions to accreditation end dates.
