Specific task instructions For this assessment event, you are required to demonstrate the skills required to provide first aid in a range of education and care settings. To do this you must complete three practical skill demonstrations in a TAFE NSW classroom: 1. Basic life support (adult, child and infant) 2. First aid incident response and report 3. Managing illnesses and injuries. Each practical demonstration requires you to respond to one or more first aid incident scenarios. For Parts 1 and 3, these scenarios are included with the instructions and Observation Checklists on the following pages. For Part 2, your assessor will provide you with a scenario card relevant to your work role or context. You will not see this beforehand to reflect a real-life situation. For each demonstration you will work cooperatively in pairs with a classmate and will take it in turns at being the person who is being assessed and the person who is playing a support role. These practicals will be observed by your Teacher/Assessor and used as part of the overall evidence requirements of the unit. You should refer to the list of criteria in the Observation Checklists on the following pages to understand what you need to demonstrate. All the task assessment criteria must be met.
