Observation records and witness statements

Observation record

An observation record is used to provide a formal record of an assessor’s judgement of learner performance (process evidence e.g. during presentations, practical activities) against the target grading criteria. The record will:

relate directly to the evidence requirements in the grading grid of the unit specification
may confirm achievement or provide specific feedback of performance against national standards for the learner
provide primary evidence of performance
is sufficiently detailed to enable others to make a judgement as to quality and whether there is sufficient evidence of performance
confirm that national standards have been achieved.

Observation records should:

be accompanied by supporting/additional evidence. This may take the form of visual aids, video/audio tapes, CDs, photographs, handouts, preparation notes, cue cards, diary record or log book and/or peer assessments records, etc.
note how effectively these were used to meet the grading criteria
record the assessor’s comments
be evidenced in learner’s portfolios when assessment is carried out through observation along with relevant supporting evidence
be completed by the assessor who must have direct knowledge of the specification to enable an assessment decision to be made
be signed and dated by the assessor and the learner
also include learners’ comments.

An observation record can have greater validity than a Witness Statement since it is capable of directly recording an assessment decision without reference to others.

Witness statement

A witness statement is used to provide a written record of learner performance (process evidence) against grading criteria. Someone other than the assessor of the qualification/unit may complete it. This may be an assessor of a different qualification or unit, a work placement supervisor, a technician, learning resources manager or anyone else who has witnessed the performance of the learner against given grading criteria. It can be someone who does not have direct knowledge of the qualification, unit or evidence requirements as a whole but who is able to make a professional judgement about the performance of the learner in the given situation.

The quality of witness statement is greatly improved and enables the assessor to judge the standard and validity of performance against the grading criteria if:

the witness is provided with clear guidance on the desirable characteristics required for successful performance
the evidence requirements are present on the witness testimony but this may need further amplification for a non-assessor
the learner or witness also provides a statement of the context within which the evidence is set.

The witness statement does not confer an assessment decision. The assessor must:

consider all the information in the witness statement
note the relevant professional skills of the witness to make a judgement of performance
review supporting evidence when making an assessment decision
review the statement with the learner to enable a greater degree of confidence in the evidence
be convinced that the evidence presented by the witness statement is valid, sufficient and authentic

When a number of witnesses are providing testimonies:

it may be helpful to collect specimen signatures
all witness testimonies should be signed and dated by the witness
information of their job role/relationship with the learner should also be available.

These details add to the validity and authenticity of the testimony and the statements made in it. Centres should note that witness testimonies can form a vital part of the evidence for a unit(s) but they should not form the main or majority assessment of the unit(s).
