BSBHRM405 Support the Recruitment, Selection and Induction of Staff

Reasonable Adjustment

RTOs and Trainers/Assessors are obliged by law to make reasonable adjustment to ensure maximum participation of students with disability in teaching, learning and assessment activities. This includes:

•ensuring that course activities are sufficiently flexible;
•providing additional support where necessary; and
•offering a reasonable substitute within the context of the course where a student cannot participate.

Reasonable adjustment is defined in section 4(1) of the Employment and the Disability Discrimination Act as ‘an adjustment to be made by a person is a reasonable adjustment unless making the adjustment would impose an unjustifiable hardship on the person’. Reasonable adjustment as it applies to participation in learning and assessment activities may include:

•customising resources or activities within a training package or accredited course;
•modifying a presentation medium;
•providing additional support;
•providing assistive or adaptive technologies;
•making additional information accessible both before enrolment and during the course; and
•monitoring these adjustments to ensure that the student’s needs continue to be met.

An individual’s access to the assessment process should not be adversely affected by restrictions placed on the location or context of assessment beyond the requirements specified in the training package. Reasonable adjustments can be made to ensure equity in assessment for people with disabilities. Adjustments include any changes to the assessment process or context that meet the individual needs of the person with a disability, but do not change competency outcomes.

The assessment process must:

Provide for valid, reliable, flexible and fair assessment
Provide for judgement to be made on the basis of sufficient evidence
Offer valid, authentic and current evidence.
There are three (3) forms of assessment or evidence gathering methods for this unit of competency. You are required to complete and submit all the assessments.
