Reasonable adjustment for assessment
Where students have highlighted Language, Literacy and Numeracy issues reasonable adjustment to
the assessment can be made. Should you receive a ‘Not Yet Competent’ or ‘Resubmit’ result for the
assessment you will be given the opportunity to re-submit your assessment work with any
amendments requested by your trainer.
The adjustment may include actions such as:
• Student demonstrating knowledge through verbal discussion to identify correct answers
• Student demonstrating knowledge through applied skills
• Allowing additional time relating to disability
• Through consultation amending assessment timeframes
• Assistance in the form of the training location to allow easier access
• Accessing relevant equipment or aids to assist the student
• Adjustments to the assessment methods to cater for any special needs (without effecting the
integrity of the outcome)
If a student requests or is identified as requiring reasonable adjustment to the training and
assessment process a detailed training and assessment plan including timetables, notes regarding
the required adjustments, and any related communications regarding the adjustments must be
maintained in the students file.
The RTO Manager must review and authorise any request for ‘reasonable adjustment’ to ensure that
any adjustments and resulting outcomes are not affecting the integrity of the training and assessment
process.

Assessment 1 – In class activity
This activity will require you to demonstrate your ability to develop a job specifications and selection criteria for
recruitment, conduct fair and legal interviews and make staff selections based on agreed criteria. You should
imagine that the business you are hiring for is one that you would really like to own in the future. The process
you will go through is just as it would be in the Industry.
Scenario: As the Manager of your hospitality business you have been noticing that lunch time business has been
increasing in the last few weeks. However, the current numbers of staff are not sufficient to provide high quality service
as customers are waiting too long for service when ordering and the kitchen is taking too long for their meals to be
prepared and served.
Currently 10 staff members are employed by the Café. The roles of the current staff are:

Q1. You are to simulate an analysis and identify short-term recruitment needs based on the monitoring of service and
efficiency levels in your workplace and decide on which positions you may need to recruit new staff. Simulate that you
are communicating with each team member and trying to identify the reasons why the issues are occurring (are they
understaffed, need training, need new team members etc), discuss this in a group and reflect on your own professional
experiences. Identify potential reasons why each staff member is underperforming.

Q2. Create an Organisational Chart below for the business as it is currently for the 10-job staff and highlight where the
required staff members you will recruit would fit into the chart.
Q3. You have a budget allocation that will allow you to hire two more staff members to assist your team. Create job
description for each role you intend to recruit for. This must include duties and responsibilities and the required criteria to
be selected for the role (you will be shown examples of job descriptions in class and you should follow a similar structure.
You must make sure the description is specific to your business and the required staff member). The selection criteria you
produce at this stage will help you as a basis for your Interview sheet which you will develop in Assessment 4.

Q5. To be complaint with legislation it is a business’s responsibility to accommodate and applicants with special needs
when organising interviews and access. Explain why you may use the following in assisting your applicants in their
interview:
