1. Background/Overview
During your work placement, you will be undertaking a variety of duties and tasks that relate to your course and the role of a leisure and health worker. You will need to successfully demonstrate that you can perform tasks required in the work environment and collect evidence of this competence.
Your workplace assessments are divided into three sections (the three portfolios) and these need to be submitted in three parts, following the Work Placement Training Plan agreed upon with Open Colleges. This Portfolio is the second section and you’ll need to submit it once it’s fully completed.
Your Workplace Supervisor will give you guidance and feedback on your performance, supporting you to complete the tasks in an appropriate and professional manner.
Evidence of your performance must be collected and submitted to your Open Colleges Trainer/Assessor.
2. Work Placement Portfolio
Your Open Colleges Trainer/Assessor will talk to your Workplace Supervisor (WPS) about all the tasks in each activity. Your WPS will confirm that you have completed each task according to the task instructions, and so you need to ensure your WPS witnesses the individual tasks as you complete them.
This portfolio needs to be uploaded at the end of your placement as a single Word document. Make sure you have completed all the tasks, including signed supervisor section and the video recording, and upload your work to OpenSpace.
Note to students: Client confidentiality
You will need to have a conversation with your WPS in relation to confidentiality as you will need to take copies of clients’ individual plans. Ensure that all client personal details are blacked out.
Selected clients or their legal guardian will need to sign the ‘Consent Form’ (available in Appendix 12) before commencing accessing their personal information or implementing any activities.

Deliverables
1. Write your student name and ID at the top of this page and in the footer and save your document.

Handy tips for recording and uploading your video to OpenSpace:
? You can create your video using a mobile device or laptop. You can set up the device yourself or ask a friend or colleague to help with the video recording. Before you start recording your video, please look at the OpenSpace video function.
? Before starting your video, write down/think through a plan on what are you going to demonstrate or discuss with other participants. You may want to draft a short script for the participants and for yourself as a guidance on what are you/them going to say in the video.
? As part of your video recording you must include an introductory statement stating your name, student ID, qualification and assessment number.
? Speak clearly and in a professional manner. Make sure you and any other participants (if any) are clearly visible and well lit.
? Do not press ‘Submit’ until you have included all videos, consent forms and the completed portfolio. If you press submit, it will alert the assessor to mark your assessment. This means that, if you have not yet included all the required evidence, the assessor will have to mark the assessment as incomplete or ‘Not Yet Satisfactory’ due to missing evidence.
