Explanatory notes
1
All activities associated with this unit standard need to accommodate differing cultural
attitudes and approaches.
2
All concerned with the teaching/learning and assessment relating to this unit
standard need to be aware of, and respect, any issues of privacy and confidentiality.
Such issues must be treated sensitively, recognising that wellbeing, in this unit
standard, is a subjective judgement of one’s own health status.
3
The plan produced for outcomes 2 and 3 will focus on wellbeing issues but may have
another goal (perhaps relating to career or education/training or leisure activities) to
which wellbeing issues are relevant.

A resource to support assessment of unit standards can be found on the NZQA
website at: http://www.nzqa.govt.nz/for-providers/resources/index.html.
