    Completing the Reflective Account template.


    1. Insert your name on the top of the checklist (delete [insert name] and add yours).
    2. Put a tick or Y in the completed box on the checklist.
    3. Sign and date the checklist (type your name in as a signature if you are unable to
    electronically sign).
    4. Fill in each element with an account of how you achieve the requirements of the
    element.
    5. Upload to your evidence folder assign a type and cross reference.
    Evidence Types
    Load evidence using the evidence wizard all evidence needs a type assigning for the
    Competence Claim folder.
    Types to use are:
    Reflective Account (RA)- the R.A. template is the basis of every unit giving you the
    opportunity to explain how you achieve the requirements of each individual element.
    The R.A. should appear in the competence claim folder of every element. It should be
    filled in (200+ words per element) and reference the evidence in the R.A. text i.e. (I use
    the company risk assessment form (EV-5) to carryout risk assessments on site).
    You should keep in mind this is a reflective account explaining how you carry out the
    task in your workplace. So it should be written in the first person for example, I use a
    wide variety of methods to research and evaluate new health and safety legislation.
    Witness Testimony (WT) - to be unit specific i.e. include a statement from the witness to
    say they have observed you carrying out whatever is relevant to the unit.
    Product (P)- anything you produce (risk assessment, audit, new policy or procedure,
    presentation, tool box talks etc.)

    Examination of Evidence (EoE)- Anything you reference for guidance, information or


    evidence (HSE website, legislation, regulations, company policies and procedures,
    bulletins)
    Accredited Prior Learning (APL)- certificates of courses you have attended which
    show accredited prior learning.
    Example only
    1.1 research proposed and new health and safety legislation, codes of
    practice, standards, health and safety risk assessment and control
    procedures and practices, technical developments and best
    practice in order to:

    develop as appropriate to the organization


    implement as appropriate in the organization
