MODULE 1: CRITICAL THINKING TO IMPROVE PRACTICE You need to show that you can reflect on and adapt your practice to meet different situations. This assessment asks about three situations where you were supporting people to reach a positive wellbeing outcome, and you needed to change the way you were working. In this assessment, you need to discuss three situations you were involved in where you decided to change something about your practice. When critically evaluating your practice you must refer to the reflective practice questions in the Family Violence, Sexual Violence and Violence within Whānau: Workforce Capability Framework. Each task in Module 1 refers to one of the three situations. This assessment will cover:

• How did you evaluate your practice, using the Family Violence, Sexual Violence and Violence within Whānau: Workforce Capability Framework, when working with people?

• How did you resolve issues that came up? • How did you change your practice when working with people? • How did you ensure that the changes in your practice met the standards followed by your

organisation? • How did you contribute to continuous improvement in your workplace?

The full versions of the questions are found on MyPath, and your Assessor will support you through your learning journey.
