Task AThe report could take the form of a written report or presented orally (this must be recorded).

Task BCandidates should produce the organisational chart for their own work placement if applicable; ifnot, a generic playwork setting is acceptable.

Task CThe short-answer questions should be taken under supervised conditions as closed-book tests. Thismeans that all activities will be completed with the assessor, or other designated supervisor,present Strict exam regulations do not apply; it is envisaged that most candidates will take theshort-answer questions in their normal learning environment with their own tutor present.Alternatively, assessors may prefer to ask the questions orally and record individual candidates'responses.

There is no time limit set by City & Guilds.

This short-answer test is graded pass or fail only. Where candidates do not achieve the necessarypass mark (12 out of 21 marks), candidates should be given a chance to re-sit the questions at alater date.

Please refer to the Answer pack for the pass mark and model answers. Please note the answersprovided are intended as a guide only and are not exhaustive. Tutors/assessors are expected to usetheir professional judgement as to the acceptability of candidate's responses and any queriesshould be referred to the txternal Verifier.

The answers must be held securely by centres and not made available to candidates.

All completed tests/records of candidates' responses if questions asked by the assessor should besecurely stored by the centre for verification by City & Guilds and under no circumstances shouldcandidates be allowed to take question papers away with them.
