A competency assessment should therefore cover both of these aspects and any staff development programme should be designed with this in mind. A competency assessment framework should also be designed from the perspective of the task to be performed rather than from the perspective of the knowledge base. For example, a manual handling competency assessment should have as its core objective the ability of the person to perform a range of manual handling techniques. This ability should be underpinned by a thorough understanding of the knowledge of physiology and manual handling theory. In many cases, manual handling training consists solely of training in underpinning knowledge followed by a practical demonstration of techniques.
Boundaries are ethical and course and student related. The appropriateness of the teacher/learner relationship, the ability to assess and apply discipline and the ability to mark fairly and without favour are ethical boundaries that are crossed at the tutor’s peril. From a course perspective, only the designed course should be delivered and scope creep should be avoided at all times. There will be times when the needs of the student are outside the boundaries of the tutor and the course. It is essential that these needs are recognised and managed.
