Additional information:
The witness must be an individual, not related to the learner, who is in a position to make valid comment about their performance.
It is not acceptable for candidates to produce written witness statements for witnesses to sign.
Witness statements:
                    must describe what they witnessed the candidate doing
                    can be written or oral accounts of a candidate’s performance
                    do not have to be written by the witness, they may be recorded by the assessor after discussion with the witness and confirmed as accurate by the witness
                    should not contain just a list of the skills
                    should not be used to evidence the achievement of a whole unit
The assessor will then judge whether the evidence presented meets the standards required by the assessment criteria for the unit.  Often it will be necessary for assessors to make contact with witnesses to ensure:
a)      the witness statement is authentic
b)      the assessor’s interpretation of the witness statement is accurate
