Witness Statement
A witness statement is used to provide a written record of students’ performance against targeted assessment criteria. Anyone in the placement who has witnessed the skills being demonstrated can complete this witness statement. 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 student in the given situation.
The quality of a 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 (this may need further amplification for a non-assessor)
- the student or witness also provides a statement of the context in which the evidence is
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 student to enable a greater degree of confidence in the evidence
- be convinced that the evidence presented by the witness statement is valid, sufficient and
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 students should also be
These details add to the validity and authenticity of the testimony and the statements made in it.
