• Occasion 1 - Research the priorities of the community group• Occasion 2 - Participate in work• Occasion 3 - Review the work done during Occasion 2.

 

The community group may be:

• A community group that you are already involved in, for example you may be a member of a specific cultural group, church group, CFA, local neighbourhood house, etc, or you may already have employment with a relevant organisation.• A community group that you are interested in• The community services organisation that you worked with for your assessment for the unit CHCPRP001 - Develop and maintain networks and collaborative partnershipso Note that the organisation will need to have a community development focus for this option to be appropriate.

 

If you have any problems locating a suitable community group talk to your teacher to obtain advice.

 

When negotiating with a community group to complete this assessment you must explain that you are a student of Bendigo Kangan Institute and fully explain the purpose and requirements of the assessment.
