Overview

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to review the developmental status of a client. Note that the client may be a child or a young person.  Work at this level may require guidance and/or supervision from appropriately qualified personnel, especially where provision of direct client services is involved.  This unit applies to people working in a range of community service contexts including: juvenile justice, alcohol and other drugs services, mental health, and child protection.

Assessment

For Melbourne campuses

Assessment tasks will be designed to reinforce and extend knowledge and skill competence within set and controlled parameters in accordance with each unit’s learning outcomes and performance criteria requirements, including the setting of work based practical application tasks designed to provide evidence of competence outcomes, within periodic and scheduled timelines.

  • observed and questioned at least one client and their family and documented information relevant to the developmental status of the client;
  • confirmed client’s developmental status prior to delivering services;
  • identified variations from normal development status and recognised and referred potentially serious issues in line with organisational requirements;
  • identified potential factors responsible for significant variations from normal developmental status and determined an appropriate response;
  • referred to or sought assistance from an appropriate person or authority in relation to variations from normal functioning, and;
  • complied with mandatory reporting requirements where appropriate.
