Individual Assessment Route
The NI PQ Framework supports the Individual Assessment Route which provides candidates with the opportunity to achieve PQ Requirements and / or NI PQ Awards by submitting work on an individual basis for assessment.
The NI PQ Framework has three Professional Awards:
1. NI Specific Award in Social Work
2. NI Specialist Award in Social Work
3. NI Leadership and Strategic Awards in Social Work
Each of the three awards is a seperate entity and therefore a candidate can achieve each award, or indeed an achieve an award more than once across a range of routes.
Candidates can work towards achievements by using the Individual Assessment to the NI Assessment Board.
Within the Individual Assessment Route the PQ Partnership provides a range of methods for submission and assessment by the Assessment Board for NI PQ Professional Requirements in any of the three Awards.
It is advisable that the candidate seeks guidance from their Agency PQ Representative to which method best suits the piece of work being considered for submission.
The following methods are available:
- Portfolio
- Assignment
- Verbal Presentation
- Direct Observation
- Accredition od Prior Learning (APL)
- A Combination of these methods
