This resource is an assessment work book covering the learning objectives and assessment criteria of the unit.
It contains a range of activities designed to specifically meet assessment criteria as well as blank witness statements and space for photographic evidence. Each sheet has a handy ‘assessment for learning emoji’ for learners to self assess as well as a final sheet for learners/assessors to make comments and to plan next steps.
The resource was originally used in a SEND school Post 16 setting but it could equally be used with entry level learners in a range of different contexts.
It is in WORD format to allow for ease of adapting to individual settings.
The booklet was designed to ensure the ASDAN unit was achieved however ASDAN were not involved in its creation.
I hope that it saves you some valuable time.
Best wishes

All the activities are easy to deliver and simple to resource. They will not require extensive looking for equipment/items as most are in cupboards and around homes.
