To earn this badge you will need to:
- deliver two sessions in different environments where you demonstrate technology/equipment and how it can be best used to promote independent living
- write a reflective account or provide a link to an audio/video recording about what you learned from facilitating the sessions and how this contributed to the development of others. (200 words or equivalent)
You do not need any other badges before you can apply for this one.
You will need to provide a 200 word statement about what you learned through facilitating the session and how this contributed to the development of others.
If you want to use a blog or ePortfolio entry as evidence, you might find our guide to preparing and publishing your evidence useful. We will also accept short audio or video statements if you prefer these formats.
Remember, the evidence you provide will be viewable by anyone who you show your badge to. Please don’t include confidential or private information within your statement.
