PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD |
The purpose of this Unit Standard is to enable learners to refer people with disabilities to specialised service providers when their needs fall outside a learner's scope of practice. Learners will know when to refer someone to other professionals, and who to refer them to. They can also analyse the information received from referrals to improve their own support to clients.
Competent referral will ensure that people with disabilities have access to the services that they need, and disability employment practitioners will meet legal, ethical and professional standards, thereby ensuring the quality of service delivery and professionalism of the field. Learners will achieve competence in referral which can be transferred to various other fields. This competence is also valuable in terms of enhancing learning and their own performance, as they are able to gather and analyse information regarding their clients. A qualified learner is capable of: |
LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING |
Learners are assumed to be competent in Communication at NQF Level 4. It is also recommended that learner's are competent in computer literacy at NQF Level 2 or equivalent. |

This information shows the current accreditations (i.e. those not past their accreditation end dates), and is the most complete record available to SAQA as of today. Some Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionaries have a lag in their recording systems for provider accreditation, in turn leading to a lag in notifying SAQA of all the providers that they have accredited to offer qualifications and unit standards, as well as any extensions to accreditation end dates.
