Section 1 — General information about the QCF
qualifications
Introducing the Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF)
qualifications
The Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF) is the new framework for creating
and accrediting qualifications in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Units form the
building blocks of all qualifications in the QCF.
How does it work?
Every qualification in the QCF is made up of Units. Each Unit has a credit value that
tells you roughly how long it takes to complete — one credit represents about 10
hours work. Each Unit and qualification also has its own Level, between Entry Level
and Level 8, to show how difficult it is.
The names of all the qualifications in the QCF are set out the same and tell you three
things — how difficult it is, how long it takes and what it’s about.
The Level shows how difficult the qualification is. There are nine Levels in the QCF,
from Entry Level to Level 8.
Next is the size — that’s how long the qualification takes to complete. Every
qualification in the QCF comes in one of three sizes — Award, Certificate or
Diploma. Awards are made up of 1 to 12 credits (or 10 to 120 hours learning),
Certificates 13 to 36 credits (130 to 360 hours learning) and Diplomas 37 credits or
more (370 or more hours learning).
Finally the content — that’s what it’s about — could be retail, or leadership, or
maybe sport. Here are two examples of qualification titles, showing how the three
parts fit together:
Level 1
Certificate
In Sport and Active Leisure
Level 8
Award
In Strategic Direction and
Leadership
So if you were doing the Level 1 Certificate in Sport and Active Leisure, you could
include a Unit on how the body works, which has a credit value of four. This would
take you 40 hours to complete.
The QCF recognises small steps of learning and enables you to build up your
learning at your own pace and put them towards a full qualification. You can bank all
your achievements over time so you don’t have to study anything you already know
and all your learning will be stored in your own personal learning record that you can
build up as you progress.

Level 5 Diplomas in Leadership for Health and Social Care Services
The Level 5 Diplomas in Leadership for Health and Social Care Services are
qualifications which assess the skills and knowledge people have and need to
perform their job role effectively. The qualifications are designed using National
Occupational Standards.
For each industry sector there is a Sector Skills Council (SSC) which is made up of
representatives from the industry or profession and it is the SSC’s responsibility to
develop the National Occupational Standards.
These standards define what employees, or potential employees, must be able to
do, how well and in what circumstances to show they are competent in their work.
The Sector Skills Council for the Level 5 Diplomas in Leadership for Health and
Social Care Services is Skills for Care & Development.
Access to the Level 5 Diplomas in Leadership for Health and Social Care Services is
open to all and you can be assessed either against particular Unit(s) or against the
full qualification. There are no entry requirements, no prescribed method of delivery,
and no time constraints for completion or age limits.
Who offers QCF qualifications?
An organisation which offers QCF qualifications is called a centre. This may be a
college, university, employer, training provider or a combination of these. The centre
has responsibility for the quality of the qualification and is required to work within an
awarding body’s policies and guidelines.
The Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) is your awarding body for the Level 5
Diplomas in Leadership for Health and Social Care Services. This means that we are
an organisation approved by government to design qualifications and awards. An
awarding body endorses learners’ certificates so that an employer can be sure the
qualification has gone through a rigorous and effective assessment process. SQA
provides qualifications throughout the world.

How are Units defined in QCF qualifications?
Each Unit in the QCF has a common format. The main components of the Unit are:
Title
The Unit title describes the content of the learning.
Level
All Units must identify a single Level for the Unit that represents
the complexity, autonomy and/or range of achievement
expressed within the Unit.
Credit value
All Units must have a credit value. One credit equals 10 hours of
learning. Learning time is defined as the time taken by learners
at the Level of the Unit, on average, to complete the Learning
Outcomes of the Unit to the standard determined by the
Assessment Criteria.
All Units must contain Learning Outcomes that set out what a
learner is expected to know, understand or be able to do as the
result of a process of learning.
All Units must contain Assessment Criteria that specify the
standard a learner is expected to meet to demonstrate that the
Learning Outcomes of that Unit have been achieved.

Assessment requirements specified by a sector or regulatory body (if
appropriate)
This Unit is designed to assess the skills of learners in the workplace, dividing,
moulding and shaping fermented dough using automated processes and equipment.
It needs to be assessed on the job. The learner must be able to demonstrate their
competent performance consistently over a period of time, to meet all of the
Assessment Criteria. This will be achieved by at least two observations of
performance in the workplace, and may be supported by witness testimony and other
workplace evidence. Observations must ensure that the learner’s working practice is
at commercial speed and in compliance with standard operating procedures.
The Improve Assessment Strategy for Proficiency Qualifications in Food and Drink
sets out the overarching assessment requirements.

How are QCF qualifications achieved?
When you consistently meet the skills or knowledge and understanding described in
the Learning Outcomes and show you have met the Assessment Criteria, you can
then claim that you are competent in each Unit. You can claim certification for single
Units or whole awards. Your centre will register your claim to competence through
the awarding body. The awarding body you are registered with for this qualification is
the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA).

The process of gaining a QCF qualification is flexible and depends on your needs. At
the beginning of the process your assessor will review your existing competence in
relation to the standards and identify the most suitable qualification. The level you
start at will depend on the type and breadth of your current job role together with
your past experience, skills and any relevant prior learning.
To achieve a Unit, you must:

Demonstrate you meet the requirements of the Unit by achieving all the Learning
Outcomes and Assessment Criteria by collecting appropriate evidence to meet
all Assessment Criteria. This evidence is assessed against the requirements of
the Unit by a qualified assessor. This will usually be someone who knows you,
such as a manager or supervisor.
Evidence may come from:




the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) — where evidence relates to past
experience or achievements
current practice — where evidence is generated from a current job role
a programme of development — where evidence comes from assessment
opportunities built into a learning/training programme whether at or away from
the workplace
a combination of these

How are QCF qualifications assessed?
Assessment is based on what you can do and involves you, your assessor, an
internal verifier and an External Verifier — see ‘Who does what in QCF qualifications’
on the following page.
Assessment is flexible and you can be certificated for each Unit you successfully
achieve, even if you do not complete the full qualification. There is no set period of
time in which you need to complete a Unit. However, you and your assessor should
still set target dates for completing each Unit, otherwise your qualification could go
on forever. Be realistic though, as there are many factors such as your previous
experience, demands within your workplace and an availability of resources which
will affect how quickly you are able to achieve the qualification.

What is evidence?
To claim competence for a Unit you need to gather evidence which shows you have
met the standards. It is important that your evidence is easily understood so that it
can be checked against the standards, by your assessor, your centre and the
awarding body.
Evidence can take many forms including:









direct observation of your performance by your assessor
products of your work
authenticated statement — witness testimony
personal statement
outcomes from questioning
outcomes from simulation
case studies
assignments or projects
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) — evidence from the past
It is important that your evidence is:





valid — it relates to the qualification standard you are trying to prove
authentic — the evidence, or an identified part of it (eg a report) was produced
by you
consistent — achieved on more than one occasion
current — usually not more than two years old
sufficient — covers all the performance and knowledge requirements laid down
in the standards
Your evidence may be collected through a range of sources, such as employment,
voluntary work, training programmes and interests/activities which you perform
outside your work. It can also be produced in various formats. For example your own
reports, testimonies from colleagues, supervisors or members of the public, projects,
models, audio tapes, photographs, videos.
When you first begin your qualification, you and your assessor should identify all the
Units and Learning Outcomes and where you can use integration of assessment.
Further details about integration of assessment can be found on page 12.

Demonstrating knowledge, understanding and skills
In order to meet the Unit, you may also be required to prove knowledge and
understanding. Some SSCs, have split the skills and knowledge into separate Units
while others have retained Units which cover both skills and knowledge.
Evidence of how the knowledge has been achieved and applied could be included in
the performance evidence as one or all of the following:






descriptions of why a particular approach was used
personal reports about the learning process
reflective reports which include how a theory or principle was applied
assessment interviews
assessment tests
responses to questioning
These should be included in your portfolio.
How will my assessor check I have the knowledge and understanding listed in
the standards?
For some Units, it will be clear to your assessor that you have the required
knowledge and understanding from how you carry out your work. This is often
referred to as knowledge and understanding apparent from performance. There will
be other occasions though, when your assessor will be unsure if you know why, for
example, it is important to give information to clients in certain situations. This could
be because your assessor has not had the opportunity to observe all the
Assessment Criteria during assessment. In these situations, your assessor may wish
to assess your knowledge and understanding by asking you some questions. These
questions can be given orally or in writing, but will be recorded in your portfolio as
evidence.
Your assessor could also check you have the required level of knowledge and
understanding by asking you to produce personal statements or to complete a
project or assignment.
What if I have previous experience and knowledge and understanding from
work and other qualifications?
If you have previous work experience, skills, and knowledge and understanding
which you feel is relevant to your qualification, you should tell your assessor about it.
Your assessor may ask you for more proof in the form of letters from previous
employers/training providers or details about any courses you have completed.
The process of matching your previous experience and learning is often referred to
as the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). The purpose of this process is to try and
give you some credit towards your qualification for things you can already do. Your
assessor judges the evidence available and matches it against the requirements of
the qualification you are undertaking. This means that your assessor should not have
to assess you for these things all over again.
Learner Guidance and Portfolio for the QCF qualifications: Level 5 Diplomas in Leadership for Health and Social
Care Services

© SQA 2012
However, the success of this process depends on you telling your assessor what
previous work experience or knowledge and understanding you have and how you
think it is relevant to your qualification. The more information you can supply to
support your claims, the easier it should be to convince your assessor that you are
competent.
There are some instances when previous learning and experience may not be used
for Recognition of Prior Learning. These include:


exemptions outlined in the Rules of Combination in the Qualifications and Credit
Framework
Units and Group Awards where there are:
— existing requirements for a licence to practice
— specific health and safety requirements
— regulated professional requirements
— specific components of a programme of study which require placements
within a given setting
Your assessor will be able to advise you.
When can simulation be used?
Throughout your QCF qualification, the emphasis is on you being able to carry out
real work activities so assessment will normally be carried out in the workplace itself.
There may be times, however, when it might not be appropriate for you to be
assessed while you are working. For example your qualification might require you to
carry out emergency or contingency procedures (for safety or confidentiality reasons)
or your job role may not cover all aspects of the qualification. In such instances,
when you have no other means of generating evidence, simulation might be
appropriate.
Simulation is any structured exercise involving a specific task which reproduces reallife situations. Care must be taken though to ensure that the conditions in which you
are assessed exactly mirror the work environment, ie it is a realistic working
environment.
Your assessor will be able to advise what constitutes a realistic working environment
in relation to this qualification. This information is contained in the Assessment
Guidance.

Integration of assessment
It is not necessary for you to have each Learning Outcome assessed separately —
doing so could result in assessment which takes too long and places too great a
burden on you and your assessor.
There will be instances when you will be able to use one piece of evidence to prove
your competence across different Learning Outcomes and Assessment Criteria. You
may even find that evidence is relevant for different Units — this is called integration
of assessment.
When you first begin your QCF qualification, you and your assessor will spend time
looking at the standards, planning how much time you are both able to devote to the
qualification and drawing up an action plan.
At this stage, you should identify any activities which relate to more than one Unit or
Learning Outcome and arrange for the best way to collect a single piece of evidence
which satisfactorily covers all the Assessment Criteria.
If you are going to integrate assessments, make sure that the evidence is crossreferenced to the relevant Units. Details of how to cross reference your evidence can
be found in Section 2 ‘How to compile your portfolio’.

Section 2 — How to compile your portfolio
General information
A portfolio, like a log book, is a way of recording evidence of your achievements. It is
a collection of different items of evidence which indicates that you have the required
skills, knowledge and understanding to support your claim to a qualification.
The production of a well organised, clearly labelled portfolio which relates each piece
of evidence to the relevant Learning Outcomes and Assessment Criteria requires a
careful methodical approach. When your assessor looks through your portfolio, they
will find the task of making judgements about your competence much easier if the
information in it is presented in a logical sequence.
You will need to present your evidence in a format that is easy to read and in which
materials can be added or taken away. This section gives suggestions on how to lay
out and present your evidence. There are also forms and matrices which will assist
you to chart your progress through the award.
You do not have to lay out your evidence in the way suggested but you may find it
helpful to do so. Each portfolio will be different in content but all should include
information about you (the learner), the organisation where you are undertaking your
qualification, the assessor and so on.

Planning your portfolio
Start by carefully reading through the Units making up the qualification and, together
with your assessor, decide which Units you might like to work on first. You do not
have to do the Units in order. There may be some Units that relate to tasks which
you carry out on a regular basis, therefore making it easier to collect evidence right
away. Alternatively, there may be activities in other Units which you only undertake
now and again, these can be left until the opportunity arises for you to collect
evidence.
Before you start looking for different kinds of evidence and deciding if they should be
included in your portfolio, you will find it helpful to plan how you will carry out the
tasks and how long they are going to take.
The plan is usually referred to as an ‘assessment plan’. It should be produced in
discussion with your assessor and will set out the different stages in developing your
portfolio. You will probably want to produce a plan for each Unit.
It is unlikely that you will be able to complete all of the Units straightaway and you
should therefore think about starting with those Units where you have a lot of
experience and in which you work well. You should also remember to identify any
opportunities for integration of assessment.
We have provided you with a ‘Unit progress record’ — see Example 2. At this stage,
it might be a good idea to check that all your evidence and recording documents
have been completed correctly and can easily be located.

Starting your portfolio
Make sure that you clearly label your portfolio with your name together with the title
and Level of the award.
Your portfolio will need a title page and a contents page. You should also complete a
Personal Profile which records details about yourself and your job as well as
providing information about your employer, training provider or college. Blank
samples of these forms are provided in Section 4.
We recommend that you compile your portfolio in the following order:
Title page
Contents checklist
Personal profile

You might also find it useful to complete the following checklist as you work your way
through your portfolio. This will help you to see if you have included all the relevant
items. Once you have completed your portfolio, you will be able to use this checklist
again as a contents page, by inserting the relevant page or section numbers in the
right hand column.

Collecting your evidence
All of the evidence which you collect and present for assessment must be relevant to
your SVQ. Your assessor will help you choose which pieces of evidence you should
include.
We have provided blank forms in Section 4 of this document, which you can
photocopy to help you record and present your evidence. Although we have provided
you with sample forms, your centre may have their own recording documents which
they would prefer you to use.
Some of these forms, eg observation records and the record of questions and
answers will be completed by your assessor. Other forms (witness testimonies) will
be used by people other than your assessor to testify that they have observed you
doing your job, and there is one for you to complete called a personal statement.
Explanations are given below about how and when these forms should be used.
How to complete the index of evidence — Example 1
You should complete an index of evidence sheet and file it immediately before the
actual pieces of evidence in your portfolio.
The index of evidence should be completed by entering:




the index number for each piece of evidence
a description of each piece of evidence
the place or location where it can be found
the initials of the internal verifier and the date (if they have sampled the learner’s
evidence)
Unit Progress Record — Example 2
The Unit progress record is used by your assessor and each time you complete a
Unit, your assessor should sign and date the relevant section on the form. You can
circle the reference number of the Unit in the checkboxes at the top of the form so
that you can see at a glance what stage you are at in your qualification.
You must make sure that the information contained in the evidence index is accurate
when you give your portfolio to your assessor, particularly in relation to where the
evidence can be located.

Care Services

© SQA 2012
Completing the Learning Outcome Achievement Records — Example 3
There is a Learning Outcome Achievement Record for every Learning Outcome
within this portfolio. These records have been designed to allow you to record the
evidence you have gathered for each Learning Outcome. Each record has boxes
across it which represents the Assessment Criteria and Assessment Requirements.
Whilst collecting your evidence you should use these grids to display the
Assessment Criteria and Assessment Requirement that piece of evidence relates to.
In the first box write the evidence index number you have given to that piece of
evidence.
In the second box give a brief description of the evidence, then tick against the
relevant Assessment Criteria.
Personal statement — Example 4
There will be times when you need to put a piece of your evidence in context for your
assessor so that they can decide if it is relevant to your qualification. You can
complete personal statements to help you do this — these can relate either to the
pieces of evidence or to each Learning Outcome or Unit.
For example, you may refer to paperwork which is often used in your organisation to
help you pass on information to a colleague. It may not be clear to an assessor why
you are communicating to your colleague in this way and a brief explanation of the
paperwork and why it is relevant to a particular part of your qualification may be
required.
A personal statement might also be used to record your experience of something,
such as, how you handled a specific situation. This can be documented in your
personal statement and should be a description of what you did, how you did it and
why you did it. It will also allow you to include the people who were present and
either assisted you or witnessed your actions. This, in turn, might identify who you
should approach for ‘witness testimony’. In your personal statement you could also
refer to product evidence that you have produced (eg reports, notes, completed
forms), these can also be included as evidence in your portfolio.
The personal statement can be a piece of evidence in itself and should therefore be
included in your portfolio.
Observation record — Example 5
The observation record is used by your assessor to record what tasks you have
performed and to what standard. There is also a section for your assessor to note
which other Units or Learning Outcomes are covered by this evidence (‘integration of
assessment’).
Learner Guidance and Portfolio for the QCF qualifications: Level 5 Diplomas in Leadership for Health and Social
Care Services

© SQA 2012
The assessor will discuss with you which Assessment Criteria you have successfully
achieved and give you feedback. This form should then be given a reference number
and included in your portfolio as part of your evidence.
Witness testimony — Example 6
There may be occasions when your assessor is not available to observe you carrying
out certain aspects of your job. In such instances, it may be appropriate for another
person to comment about your performance by completing a statement called a
‘witness testimony’.
Witness testimony should only be used as supporting evidence and should:



be provided by a person, not related to you, who is in a position to make a valid
comment about your performance, eg supervisor, line manager or possibly a
client/customer
contain comments which specifically relate your performance to the standards
be authenticated by the inclusion of the witness’s signature, role, address,
telephone number and the date
It is unlikely that your assessor would make an assessment decision based on
witness testimony alone. They would normally supplement this type of evidence with
questioning.
Record of questions and learner’s answers — Example 7
This form is used to record any questions which your assessor may ask, to establish
whether you have the required level of knowledge and understanding associated with
each Unit. There is also space on the form for your answers to be noted.

Presenting your evidence
It is important to present all of your evidence in a clear, consistent and legible
manner. Your assessor will then find it much easier to make appropriate judgements
about the quality, sufficiency and currency of the materials you are putting forward
for consideration.
It is not necessary to produce all of your evidence in typewritten format — some
hand-written pieces of evidence, such as notes, will be perfectly acceptable.
There may also be items of evidence which you cannot physically include in your
portfolio. This might be for confidentiality reasons or it could be that something which
you have produced as part of your day-to-day work is normally kept in a filing cabinet
or stored electronically.
In compiling your portfolio, we suggest that anything you produce as part of your dayto-day work is kept in its normal location, but those pieces of evidence which have
been produced specifically for your qualification, eg witness testimony statements or
personal statements, are filed in your portfolio. However, assessors and verifiers
should be able to locate and access your evidence at all times. It is, therefore, very
important that you clearly reference every item of evidence.
Referencing your evidence
Your assessor, as well as the internal and External Verifiers, will need to find their
way around your portfolio, so you should give each piece of evidence a number.
Remember, that where you have used ‘integration of assessment’, you need to give
details of all the Units and Learning Outcomes which are linked to a specific piece of
evidence. The links should be noted on the pieces of evidence themselves as well as
on the index of evidence (cross-referencing).

Having attended the health

and safety meeting today, I
have been able to identify
further how information on
health and safety instructions
and regulations are currently
communicated. I think the
meeting also improved my
awareness of the current
level of understanding and
support for health and
safety. Clearly the
management team is very
supportive of all health and
safety issues and this was
highlighted in a report
discussed at the meeting
about an incident at another

Dave Mulvaney (on behalf of senior management

Senior manager responsible for health and safety,
line manager of Paul Lee
Paul has provided a very insightful and detailed plan to support the promotion of a culture of
health and safety within the organisation. Paul has made some good recommendations
about how the communication of health and safety information could be improved; he has
based this on some sound research, including a detailed audit, discussions with staff and
the results of a staff questionnaire. Paul has clearly used his knowledge and understanding
of health and safety and the organisation to include within his plan new and innovative
opportunities for promoting health and safety within the organisation.
The senior management team has agreed Paul’s plan and recommended that he takes this
forward.
I can confirm the learner’s performance was satisfactory.

List of questions and learner’s responses
Q
Having completed your review of the workplace how would you rate the way health
and safety information is currently communicated to the workforce within your
organisation? Can you support your view?
A
I’d say that currently the communication with regard to health and safety is adequate,
there are some good practices, but there are also plenty of opportunities for
improvement.
Q
Having completed your review, spoken to employees and collated the results of your
questionnaire what would you say is the current level of understanding and support
for health and safety instructions and procedures?
A
Generally the understanding of health and safety instructions and procedures is
good. All employees remembered the information they had been given at induction,
they could show me the relevant sections within the staff handbook and they were
aware of the importance of health and safety. However in some of the operational
areas there are instances where standards have begun to slip and shortcuts are
being made. When I develop my plan I will need to focus on opportunities for
promoting the advantages and legal necessity of following health and safety
procedures. I’m sure management will support me with this.
