Self-assessment and action planning
a) Initial interest
Comprehensive information regarding the award along with formal invitations
to participate will be made available at regular intervals to all
establishments across Wales. Additionally the CWQA will be promoted
and further information provided at appropriate meetings, courses
and conferences and by Careers Wales link staff within their own link
establishments. Establishments can express an interest in participating
in the award by sending an enquiry form to their local coordinator
b) Self assessment and action planning
A trained CW consultant will then be allocated to the establishment.
The consultant will support the establishment to undertake a thorough
and comprehensive self-assessment of their current provision for both
careers and work related education. An action plan for achieving both
modules will then be drawn up by the establishment again with the
support of their CW consultant. The self-assessment and action planning
process will involve staff responsible for CEG, WRE, senior managers
and CW staff.
c) The self assessment process
It is vital that the establishment undertakes an effective self -
assessment in relation to both award modules. A thorough and comprehensive
audit against the ACCAC learning outcomes for CEG and the ACCAC based
learning outcomes for WRE must be carried out alongside the audit
of the criteria. This will enable coordinators and managers to identify
current practice and provision against the award criteria. As a result
of this process an action plan will drawn up clearly indicating areas
for development along with plans for carrying out any necessary action
in order to meet the criteria fully. This will enable the establishments
senior managers to
- make an informed decision about which module the establishment
will take forward to assessment
- enable resources, both establishment and Careers Company, to
be planned effectively to support achievement of the award
d) The action planning process
Careers Wales is committed to support establishments to improve the
standards of CEG and WRE. Depending on the information available following
the self-assessment each establishment will wish to make progress
by improving any areas not fully developed to meet the criteria. A
comprehensive and detailed action plan will support the institution
to make a clear management decision in relation to their next step.
The self-assessment and action-planning grid allows all necessary
information to be recorded against the criteria. Although establishments
have the option to work towards assessment in either of the modules
following self-assessment they will be required to produce a self-assessment
and action plan against both sets of criteria in the initial stages.
It is the intention that, whichever of the modules is selected for
formal assessment, the subsequent module is kept live by regular review
and updating of the action plan for that area. The subsequent module
action plan will be reviewed at six monthly intervals.
