31. Standard 5 What is meant by and what is sufficiently good and/or – ‘main terms’ acceptable evidence? E.g. do I have to list or describe the main terms and concepts used in promoting health or wellbeing? (5c) do you actually want to see that I know the main terms, like an exam question? There is a glossary of terms for practitioner registration in the Supporting Information document that can be found on the UKPHR website The portfolio should not be like an exam question, but the assessor would need to be assured, through the presentation of the portfolio and accompanying evidence, that the applicant understands what the main terms are and what they mean. This would need to be explicit through one form or another. 32. How would you demonstrate anecdotal evidence? You many need to request confirmation through an email, or a testimonial from a senior member of staff. Sometimes, if the evidence is not forthcoming, applicants may need to find a different example in their work which they can evidence more easily. 33. How narrowing focused can the evidence be? Can commentaries all be about one project? Commentaries can be about one project, or one part of a project. You will be supported in the planning and mapping of your portfolio through the portfolio development groups, and you will also learn more about what is required through the Induction Day. 34. Quality of evidence (i.e. is one email enough, how many pieces of evidence do you need, or can you use one piece of (good) evidence)? As you develop your portfolio you will come to recognise what will be required to demonstrate the different indicators in relation to your chosen piece of work. You can use the same piece of – evidence for several indicators if it can demonstrate what is required, but you will need to discuss – the different parts of the evidence in relation to each of those indicators, and signpost the assessor to the relevant parts. 35. How do you demonstrate the evidence do you need to write it down? – Evidence can come in many forms, but more often than not it is written evidence. A video may not be but the applicant would need to explain to the assessor what it is about the video ‘written down’, that demonstrates the indicator being claimed against that evidence. 36. Does it need to be evidence based practice/certificates, if application then needs to be assessed?
