What an assessment for CHCDFV009 must cover

32 assessable components: 5 elements (19 performance criteria), 3 performance evidence and 10 knowledge evidence requirements. An audit-defensible tool maps every question and task back to these — that mapping is the coverage matrix Auditori generates alongside the assessment.

Elements & performance criteria

1 Establish willingness to address violent and abusive behaviour

1.3Encourage the user of domestic and family violence to recognise the advantages of behaving in ways that are non-violent and non-abusive
1.4Explore the user’s aspirations for future relationships to examine how their violence undermines fulfilment of those aspirations
1.5Characterise interactions with the user with respect, honesty and a concern for children and partner safety and in accordance with agency/organisation policies and procedures

4.1Establish and maintain practices and strategies that are sensitive to the user’s experiences in relation to membership of a minority culture or experiences of injustice
