Received byAssessment InformationWelcome to your Student Assessment Guide for BSBSUS501 Develop Workplace Policy and Procedures for Sustainability.This Student Assessment Guide will give you the opportunity to show your skills in developing and implementing workplace sustainability policy and procedures. You will achieve this through taking part in a simulation titled Go Green, an initiative set up by your RTO.This assessment has the following two events:Assessment Event 1 – Short Answer QuestionsThere are four questions that will provide us with evidence on your general knowledge of legislation related to sustainability, the processes used to develop policy, and barriers to implementation.This assessment is completed in your own time and by a submission date provided by your assessor. You may use support material in the development of your answers, but you must indicate the source. In addition, you must not cut and paste answers from your source, rather, use your own words, unless it is a direct quote.Assessment Event 2 – Simulation: Go GreenYou will complete a number of tasks in developing policies and procedures for your RTO in a recent sustainability initiative proposed by your Manager. These tasks will be based on your role as a Sustainability Officer in a simulation titled Go Green.Remember, you do not type your answers in this Student Assessment Guide, but use the Student Assessment Workbook, which is a separate document. This document is simply a guide to explain what you are required to do, and by doing so, this will assist you to perform at your best.Please note that your responses for both assessments can (where appropriate) use dot point format. See below for an example of a dot point answers and a full sentence:Dot point format Presentation Plan includes the following:• outcomes• needs of the audience• context.Full sentence format When you are preparing for a presentation, there some tasks that must be carried out. These are listing the outcomes that you want to achieve, followed by the identification of the needs of your audience.

enrolled will have a number of operational procedures for managing their college. In recent times, the RTO has been moving to a more sustainable model where it will be taking a number of steps to improve its carbon foot print. The Manager has branded this initiative as ‘Go Green’ and intends for the organisation to become best practice in terms of protecting the environment.Simulation DetailsThis simulation is divided into the following phases:Phase 1: Develop your policies and proceduresPhase 2: Inform users of how to implement these policies and proceduresPhase 3: Review and adjust policy and procedures.Your Role in the SimulationYou will be the Sustainability Officer of Go Green in the simulation. Your roles and responsibilities in the simulation are as follows:Phase 1:Phase 1 occurs from Task 1.1 to 1.5. In Phase 1, your main duties in the organisation are as follows:• within your designated location, you will plan your policy and procedures• seek input to this plan• develop an action plan for its implementation• seek approval from your Manager for this implementation.Phase 2:Phase 2 occurs in Task 2.This session will have a duration of 30 minutes where you will inform users of the policies and procedures on what is required for implementation. Note that your assessor will not be engaged in this observation activity and their role will be limited to observing your interaction with these stakeholders and documenting evidence on the Observation Check Sheet provided in Appendix B.In Phase 2, your main duties in the organisation are as follows:• explain the background to the initiative• persuade users to commit to the project• provide roles and responsibilities.Phase 3:Phase 3 occurs from Task 3.1 to Task 4.3. In Phase 3, your main duties in the organisation are as follows:• implement the policies and procedures• monitor results• make adjustments to improve policies and procedures.Assessment Conditions for the Observation SessionThe information in this section outlines the assessment conditions for the observation session which occurs in Task 2.1 and involves you to interact with two stakeholders.Before the observation session:• you must ensure that you have read and understood any documents required to undertake the observation• you must ensure that you have read and understood all performance requirements listed under each task• you must ensure that you have read the requirements listed in the Observation Check Sheet as your performance will be judged based on these criteria (see Appendix B)• your Assessor will inform you prior to the date of your observation session• your Assessor will inform you the deadline of your submission of the policy and procedure implementation plan.During the observation session:• this meeting will be with the two users of these policies and procedures and will have a total duration of 30 minutes• other students will not be observers during the session as this will give them an unfair advantage• these stakeholders will be role played by staff from the RTO• your assessor will brief them on your topic so that they can carry out their duties in an appropriate manner• you cannot refer to the Observation Check Sheet while undertaking the demonstration• your assessor will:­ not participate in the simulation and their role as an assessor will be only observing the simulation­ observe you individually based on the criteria written on the Observation Check Sheet­ document their observations in detail on the Observation Check Sheet­ provide extensive written feedback using the Observation Check Sheet in case you do not meet a criterion to a satisfactory level­ ensure that the session will be free from distractions• you must comply with WHS requirements; that is acting in a safe way• you must demonstrate all the actions in the Observation Check Sheet to achieve a satisfactory result for the task.If you are not successful, after the observation session, the Assessor will:• provide the written feedback on the Observation Check Sheet explaining their justification in detail• communicate this feedback to you via verbally or email• confirm that you have understood their feedback• negotiate another suitable time to observe your second attempt (which must be in full, not just on the specific NYS area(s)).Appendix B: Observation Check SheetWe have provided the observation check sheet for you to prepare for your assessment with the Assessor. Remember, you will not be able to use this check sheet at the time you will be observed.
