How would you identify and compare different types of evidence when making your assessment decisions.

You identify different types of evidence during the planning process with your candidate ie you look at how she is going to provide evidence
1. By you observing
2. By you providing a candidate reflection
3. By obtaining witness statement
4. By you asking her questions.

You compair these different types by assessing their strengths eg. No 1&4 would be strong evidence as you are the assessor making the judgement. No 3 would be strong or weak depending who was writing the statement. No.2 the reflection will need further questioning from the assessor or talking to colleagues involved or looking at work products to make this a strong piece of evidence.
