Assessment notes:
This unit standard may be assessed on the basis of evidence of demonstrated
performance in the workplace, and through the use of simulated workplace situations
that closely approximate the performance required in workplace settings. Workplace
settings can include field education placements.
People awarded credit in this unit standard show that their actions through all
elements are guided and supported by valid theory for social service practice.
Evidence is required of social service theory that is derived from authoritative
sources, which may include but are not limited to: body of knowledge related to
Iwi/Māori social service work; cultural theory; practice research.
Definitions of Māori words will be those relevant and in common usage in an
Iwi/Māori social services context.
Local iwi or hapū aims and objectives underpin the national standard basis of this
unit standard. The definitions of Māori words and concepts in the local dialect must
be verified by the local iwi and/or hapū.
The context of the unit standard is limited to local rohe or takiwā; where local rohe
are also occupied by a number of other iwi or hapū, the tangata whenua or mana
whenua view will take precedence. Other iwi or hapū views should be encouraged in
order to enrich and enhance understanding of key Māori concepts and practices.
