Perform the task safely and accurately, with evidence suited to the skill being assessed. Observation and calibration
Describe characteristics precisely and review consistency and differences in assessment. Reasoned decisions

Impartiality, confidentiality, respect for participants and disclosure of conflicts of interest. Project and achievement portfolio
