Special notes
1
Assessment may be in relation to one specific organisational context applying the
specific codes, call signs, and procedures of that organisation.
2
Assessment may be in relation to a wide variety of compliance contexts, including all
local government compliance contexts. This means that communication must be
appropriate to the performance context. Factors to be taken into account include the
role of the officer, the response of any clients, and the desired outcome. For
example, what is appropriate communication during first contact in an emergency will
differ from what is appropriate when an officer is requesting assistance by radio, or
requesting a list of contacts for a notifiable disease, or conducting a routine
discussion of an approval.
