    REREGISTRATION HISTORY 
    As per the SAQA Board decision/s at that time, this unit standard was Reregistered in 2012; 2015. 

    UNIT STANDARD NOTES 
    Recommendations and Exemplars for the design of:

    Learning / Curriculum
  • The learner should familiarise him/ her self with the company policy pertaining to dealing with `at risk` individuals.
  • Potential exercise: Learner could practise identifying `at risk` individuals through case studies.
  • Potential project: Learner could do research on addictive behaviour, professional assistance that is available and legal requirements in terms of this problem.
  • A range of "at risk individuals" should be covered, including alcohol abuse, gambling, substance/drug abuse, stress/depression, obsessive behaviour, those who are affected by others who are substance abusers.

    Performance systems
  • All line management should be capable of identifying `at risk` individuals.

The relevant Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionary should be notified if a record appears to be missing from here.
