The process involves the collation & presentation of evidence from Portage practice that demonstrates individual abilities in each of the competencies, divided into 5 key areas.
Evidence is presented in meetings between the Portage Home Visitor and the supervisor and/or supporting Portage practitioner. This can become part of the normal Portage supervision process, taking place within both individual supervision and team meetings.
Evidence can be presented in any of the following ways:
from observed home visits
verbally during meetings,
in writing, as specified in the assessment criteria
within a reflective log.
A Record of Achievement must be completed for each competency and the Portage Hone Visitor may choose to compile a Portfolio of Evidence.
