Abstract

In the last 18 months PCOC has developed and delivered workshop style education on the use of PCOC assessment tools. 25 workshops have been delivered to 450 participants in metropolitan, regional and rural NSW.

The workshops were introduced in an attempt to improve the ability of the sector to meet the national benchmarks. We are seeing an improved trend towards meeting the benchmarks since the introduction of the workshops. However the focus of this presentation will be the increased understanding of the assessment tools post workshop as evidenced by evaluation feedback.
