How many credits are required to complete this course?

46 credits are required to complete this course.

What is a Witness Testimony in L2 Diploma in Care?

Witness testimony is classified as “supporting” evidence because it offers additional details in the form of an occupationally competent person’s statement of authentication, which confirms all pertinent facts about a learner’s workplace activities and attests to the learner’s competency in performing a skill or task. Some of the abilities that must be shown by the learner in order to pass the course, including “positive working relationships” and “motivate and encourage children and young people’s positive behaviour,” are particularly hard to back up with just documentation proof. As a result, an expert witness is required to present a written account of the learner’s performance at the workplace, accurately describing the activity conducted in comparison to the targeted assessment criteria, and attesting to whether these have been followed in the work context. In some units, witness testimony is required, and the relevant Assignment Guide will make this obvious. It should be emphasised that in addition to delivering the witness evidence, you will also need to write a reflective report.

What is a reflective account?

A reflective account is the supporting written evidence or learner’s statement that indicates how the learner performed or performed the activity testified to by the workplace supervisor, what went well and what did not, what you learned and what you should have done. You also mention what strategies you will adapt for improvement. Please note that there is no separate document for writing a reflective account. The reflective account or learner’s statement is given in the same Assessment Brief document.
