What is a Witness Testimony in L3 Award in Paediatric First Aid?
Witness testimony is categorised 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 student in order to pass the course, including “Positive working relationships” or “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.
