Englishrose765 Hello Sort of agree with you that it is a bit hard to cover some requirements on nights. As an assessor I find it really really hard to get decent observations done on nights. I am more than a bit put out to make the effort to arrange to see someone at night time while they are on shift to find they are doing the laundry, the cleaning, getting tables ready, all service users in bed, so I end up with a useless observation. Even though you are on nights you should still have the same knowledge as day staff, attend same training courses. I now arrange for night staff to come in a bit earlier so I can get a half decent observation, then, if I'm lucky get a senior to provide a good witness testimony. Level 3 is hard for night staff but you need to choose your units wisely and be prepared to be flexible. This is still a vocational qualification and you need to be competent in all the requirements of the units. Hope you get there! Steadysue |
