Activity $2$: Preparing a brief research report on approaches to worker consultation

$2$ Prepare a brief research report that

$$ critically reviews how your chosen organisation consults with workers on

health and safety matters.

$$ evaluates the effectiveness of how your chosen organisation consults

with workers on health and safety matters.

$$ makes TWO recommendations for improving worker consultation in your

chosen organisation.

Your research report must be presented in the following format $($see marking descriptors for further information$)$

$$ Executive summary.

$$ Introduction $$ containing aims$/$objectives$,$ methodology and introduction

to the topic.

$$ Critical review $$ which briefly, but critically, reviews techniques for

worker consultation on health and safety matters. This must draw from

a range of reliable reference sources such as authoritative guidance,

expert opinions, and other evidence. References for the cited evidence

should use a recognised referencing style $($Harvard$,$ Vancouver,

OSCOLA, etc$).$ The learner can choose which style to use, but the style

must be used consistently throughout the report.

$$ Brief analysis of the effectiveness of your chosen organisation$$s worker

consultation techniques. This is effectively a brief gap analysis or

commentary comparing your organisation to good practice$/$effective nsights that you have determined from your critical review. It should

include examples from the workplace to support the analysis.

$$ Conclusion $$ a summary of findings that includes

$-$ A clear outline of TWO recommendations for improving the worker

consultation techniques used in your chosen organisation.

$-$ A justification for EACH of your recommendations. The

justifications must include links back to the research carried out

and give an indication that each recommendation will be effective.

$-$ List of Reference sources cited.
