HWB Workplace Verifier form
Learners are required to have a suitable workplace verifier who has a recognised health and wellbeing qualification or equivalency and/or has had experience in providing health and wellbeing service relevant to the course the learner is applying for.
The workplace verifier should be someone the learner reports to, who can verify that all written work is an accurate account of what has been completed in the workplace and who can say that all practical work meets the requirements of the workplace. It could be a manager, team leader, registered nurse, learning and development person, team coach or a supervisor.
Role of a workplace verifier
The workplace verifier will:
- monitor the work of the learner
- verify that they have met workplace standards, that the work they describe in their written assessments is a true reflection of the work they have done
- confirm the required programme workplace hours have been completed when signing off assessment verification forms.
Note: Workplace verifiers are not required to provide training nor are they required to carry out workplace assessments. Teaching and assessment is the responsibility of the Open Polytechnic. The Open Polytechnic will contact the verifier if there are any questions or concerns about the work of a learner.
