Section 1 - Overview

Tracking your evidence During your course your Tutor/Assessor will ask you to carry out work either in the classroom, in your workplace or at home which you’ll keep as evidence of your learning. The work you produce (evidence) will be assessed by your Tutor/Assessor to make sure you’ve covered everything in sufficient detail. Your evidence could be made up of a combination of:

♦ written work or class notes ♦ products or samples of practical work ♦ case studies ♦ simulated activities or role play ♦ work placement diaries ♦ learning logs ♦ video or audio recordings ♦ other appropriate formats suggested by your Tutor/Assessor

When all of your evidence is gathered together in a file or folder, this becomes your portfolio. Your centre and Assessor may have systems that they use to plan and monitor your assessment. These may be computer-based (eg using ‘e-portfolio’ software) or paper-based (using forms or checklists). These systems are designed to show how each piece of evidence meets which learning outcomes and assessment criteria. How your evidence is checked After your Tutor/Assessor has assessed your work, another member of staff - the Internal Moderator - will review it. An External Moderator from NCFE will visit your centre. The External Moderator’s role is to make sure your work has been assessed to NCFE’s requirements. They’ll do this by checking a sample of candidates’ portfolios – which may include yours. They also may wish to talk to you about the content of the course and the work you’re doing. How you get your certificate Once you’ve built up your portfolio of evidence and your Tutor/Assessor and the Internal and External Moderators are satisfied it meets the standards, you’ll be awarded the NCFE Level 2 Award in Equality and Diversity or NCFE Level 2 Certificate in Equality and Diversity.

Section 1 - Overview Your centre will send a signed certificate claim form to NCFE when they and the External Moderator have signed off your completed portfolio.

Section 2 - Planning and tracking your assessment

Completing your learning log This section of the log will help you keep track of the work you’ve done and the work you still need to do to finish your portfolio. It will also help your Tutor/Assessor, Internal and External Moderators find their way around your portfolio so they can assess it or check it. Your Tutor/Assessor will make sure you’re completing your log correctly. Below is a sample page similar to those you’ll find in the rest of this log. Use the columns to write down what evidence you’ve put in your portfolio and to show your Tutor/Assessor and the Internal and External Moderators where it’s located. You and your Tutor/Assessor and/or an independent witness must sign and date the individual pieces of work in your portfolio. Once you’ve completed your portfolio, your Tutor/Assessor will sign the front of the log, to show that they’re satisfied you’ve completed it correctly.

For more information your Tutor/Assessor will be able to provide you with a full copy of NCFE’s Reasonable Adjustments and Special Considerations Policy, or you can download it from www.ncfe.org.uk.

Appeals or complaints If you’ve any queries or problems with your qualification you should first talk to your Tutor/Assessor, the Internal Moderator or another member of staff at your centre.

Malpractice ‘Malpractice’ is used to describe something a person does when they intentionally mislead somebody. An example may be copying somebody else’s work and passing it off as your own. Whenever we’re notified about a suspected or actual case of malpractice, we‘ll work with the centre to find out if and why malpractice happened and what we can do to sort it out. If your centre suspects you’ve been involved in malpractice, we won’t be able to issue your certificate during the investigation. If we prove that malpractice has happened, you may have part of your assessment disallowed or, in serious cases, your final results may be void. This means you won’t receive a certificate or, if we’ve already issued you one, we’ll ask that you return it straight away. For more information your Tutor/Assessor will be able to provide you with a full copy of NCFE’s Malpractice Policy, or you can download it from www.ncfe.org.uk.
