Highfield Level 2 Award in Moving People Safely (RQF) 501-2290-3

Highfield Level 2 Award in Moving People Safely (RQF) 5 Unit 2: Part 2 - Practical Assessment Learning outcome 4 is assessed by a competency-based assessment that is set by Highfield Qualifications and internally assessed and internally quality assured by the centre. Assessment decisions and IQA practices will be subject to external moderation by Highfield Qualifications. Successful learners will need to successfully demonstrate the relevant practical assessments as outlined in Unit 2 within the Highfield Level 2 Moving People Safely Examination Declaration, Learner List and Practical Assessment Matrix. Once completed, this document should also be returned to Highfield Qualifications. Centres must take all reasonable steps to avoid any part of the assessment of a learner (including any internal quality assurance and invigilation) being undertaken by any person who has a personal interest in the result of the assessment. Guidance on quality assurance Highfield Qualifications requires centres to have in place a robust mechanism for internal quality assurance of training delivery and internal assessment processes . Internal quality assurance must be completed by an appropriately experienced and knowledgeable person and that person must not have been involved in any aspect of the delivery or assessment of the course they are quality assuring. In addition to the internal quality assurance for Centres, Highfield Qualifications will require Centres to have periodic external quality support engagements; these can include both visits and remote sampling. It is, therefore, important that Centres retain paperwork for audit purposes for a minimum of 3 years. Recognition of prior learning (RPL) Centres may apply to use recognition of prior learning or prior achievement to reduce the amount of time spent in preparing the learner for assessment. For further information on how centres can apply to use RPL as described above, please refer to the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) policy in the members’ area of the Highfield Qualifications website. This policy should be read in conjunction with this specification and all other relevant Highfield Qualifications documentation. Tutor requirements Highfield Qualifications requires nominated tutor/assessors to have teaching experience and hold a qualification in the relevant subject area. The practical assessment will be undertaken by the tutor/assessor. Nominated tutor/assessors should have a minimum of a Level 3 Health and Safety qualification or equivalent, with substantial occupational experience of moving people within a care setting in addition to a training/teaching qualification. Suitable subject area qualifications/experience may include: • Degree or Dip HE in a related subject (such as Environmental Health, Nursing or Occupational Health and Safety) • Regulated L3 or L4 qualification in Health and Safety • NEBOSH Diploma or National General Certificate in Occupational Safety and Health • Advanced qualifications in Moving People Safely • Suitable Manual Handling or Moving People Safely instructor courses
