What we’re asking you to review

• Is the purpose clear and relevant to your context?
• Are the learning outcomes clear, measurable, and appropriate for Level 5?
• Is the component weighting (5/4/4/3/4 credits) correct?
• Are delivery and assessment modes workable across providers/employers?
• Is the terminology appropriate (e.g., Disabled peoples, tāngata whaikaha)?
• Anything missing that would improve accessibility or employer uptake? 

Why this micro-credential matters 

Across Aotearoa, disabled peoples/tāngata whaikaha face persistent barriers to employment. This micro-credential responds to strategic priorities set by Whaikaha – Ministry of Disabled People, and supports the development of a culturally responsive, disability-confident workforce.
