Evidence for all Performance Criteria may be supplemented by oral questioning, where necessary. Unit specification (DDE16 12): 3
4 National Unit Specification: support notes This part of the unit specification is offered as guidance. The support notes are not mandatory. While the exact time allocated to this unit is at the discretion of the centre, the notional design length is 40 hours. GUIDANCE ON THE CONTENT AND CONTEXT FOR THIS As stated in the unit title, this unit deals with the handling of stressful calls (i.e. from stressed callers) in the context of the Emergency Services. The handling of these calls differs from general call handling, by the nature of the calls and the fact that they are being processed within the context of the Emergency Services. These calls will involve a degree of urgency and an emergency situation, either real or perceived. GUIDANCE ON APPROACHES TO ASSESSMENT FOR THIS Outcome 1 Outcome 1 is based on both cognitive and practical competences. A knowledge and understanding of organisational guidance and procedures is required throughout (explicitly in Performance Criteria (e) but also for Performance Criteria (a) (d)). All Performance Criteria in Outcome 1 require practical performance in either a real situation handling stressful calls or a simulated exercise. Supervisory/training personnel could monitor actual calls as they are being dealt with. Some of the required evidence will be generated through ongoing work, and some evidence may be generated through the delivery of the unit. An example of the latter is where a role play exercise could be designed to display interpersonal skills in a simulated context relating to Performance Criteria (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e). Further guidance on specific Performance Criteria of Outcome 1 is provided below: Performance Criterion (a) requires a knowledge and understanding of the main emotional states likely to be encountered within the context of callers to the Emergency Services. Organisational guidance on effectively assessing these emotional states, must be understood and put into practice i.e. displayed in either a real situation or a simulated exercise. Unit specification (DDE16 12): 4
5 National Unit Specification: support notes (cont) Performance Criterion (b) and Performance Criterion (c) require a knowledge and understanding of the range of caller s actual needs likely to be encountered, and also the range of perceived needs exhibited in callers within the context of the Emergency Services. The range of caller s actual needs may include the need for understanding, sympathy, comfort when reporting a death, practical assistance, and rational action on their behalf. Perceived needs may involve an understanding of a caller s stress from a non-emergency situation, or a belief that help is needed from a specific Agency of the Emergency Services when in fact it is another Agency which will need to primarily assist. Performance Criterion (d) is concerned with the use of appropriate methods (involving pace and level of response) to reduce caller stress, and to defuse potential conflict situations. It is also concerned with maintaining the relationship with the caller in order to facilitate communication. In Performance Criterion (e), appropriate action will be in line with organisational procedures and guidance.. The main aspect of Performance Criterion (e) is the action taken during the call by the individual handling the call. This may involve taking preventative steps to avoid conflict, or a level of negotiation to bring the caller away from a harmful situation. This Performance Criterion also involves having knowledge and understanding of when it is appropriate to pass on the call to other personnel within the organisation. It may also involve informing relevant supervisory personnel, where necessary, after a stressful call has been completed. Another aspect of appropriate action may be in advising the caller of a course of action. It may be worth noting that although the individual handling the call follows appropriate procedures to support the caller s needs, the outcome may still not be successful. It may be worth noting that while Outcome 1: Performance Criterion (e) deals with action taken to support the needs of the caller, Outcome 2: Performance Criterion (e) deals with the resulting course of action taken in response to the call as a whole. Although there may appear to be a degree of overlap, Outcome1: Performance Criterion (e) involves interpersonal skills while Outcome 2: Performance Criteria (e) is concerned with procedural skills. Outcome 2 Outcome 2 is based on both cognitive and practical competences. A knowledge and understanding of organisational guidance and procedures (such as Standard Operating Procedures) is required throughout all the Performance Criteria, as is the ability to access this information. All Performance Criteria in Outcome 2 require practical performance in either a real situation handling stressful calls or a simulated exercise. Supervisory/training personnel could monitor actual calls as they are being dealt with. Some of the required evidence will be generated through ongoing work, and some through delivery of the unit. An example of the latter is where a role play exercise could be designed to display questioning skills in a simulated context relating to Performance Criterion (b) or negotiation skills relating to Performance Criterion (c). Further guidance on specific Performance Criteria of Outcome 2 is provided below: In Performance Criterion (a), Sources of appropriate guidance material may include guidance manuals, procedural manuals, on-screen prompts. Appropriate sources of advice may be verbal rather than written, such as advice from experienced personnel/mentors and supervisors. Examples of types of stressful calls could be calls from distressed children, calls relating to potential suicides, bomb alerts, fire alerts, major incidents. Unit specification (DDE16 12): 5
6 National Unit Specification: support notes (cont) In Performance Criterion (b), appropriate techniques of questioning include the 5Wh questions i.e. Where, When, Who, What, Why. In many cases, call scripts for questioning may be followed. For the call handler, it is also important to understand that effective questioning may involve remaining silent, where appropriate i.e. when this will assist gathering of information. For Performance Criterion (c), negotiation skills could involve talking the stressed caller down from their stressed state, and possibly away from a dangerous situation. There is also the need to know when to pass the caller on to someone else in a more senior position. There is also the need to acknowledge that not all negotiations with a stressed caller may lead to a successful outcome, and may indeed fail although correct procedures have been followed. In Performance Criterion (d), organisational procedures may involve the recording of key points from calls and this would provide written evidence for an aspect of this Performance Criterion. A knowledge and understanding of methods of information evaluation is also involved. This aspect could be assessed through observation of real call handling situations or simulated exercises, and be supplemented by oral questioning where necessary. Part of the evaluation process could involve deciding if the situation described by the caller constitutes a genuinely stressful/emergency situation. Evaluation on the nature and level of the crisis is also involved. Performance Criterion (e) is concerned with an effective response and course of action following the evaluation step. The response must be in line with organisational guidance and procedures. The course of action in Performance Criterion (e) refers to the action taken by the individual handling the call, and must again be in line with organisational guidance and procedures. The appropriate course of action may, in some instances, be to pass the call to other personnel within the organisation e.g. supervisory personnel. Evidence for Performance Criterion (f) will be generated in the course of dealing with calls, which will provide a written or electronic record in line with organisational procedures. The form of this record will vary, and may include written or electronic input in of data, or filling in specific forms related to the type of incident e.g. bomb alerts Performance Criterion (g) is concerned with a knowledge and understanding of the type of stressful call where it is necessary to seek assistance from other personnel within the organisation e.g. supervisory personnel. This could be during the course of the call or as a follow-up to the call, in line with organisational procedures. Performance Criterion (g) involves a knowledge of the system which allows supervisory personnel to be alerted during a call, while retaining control of the call. Performance Criterion (g) also involves an awareness of levels of responsibility within the call handling function.
