| LO1. Explain the need for the development and use of assistive technologies in Health and Social Care provision. 25 marks Knowledge and understanding of the drivers: WHO, UK Gov, NHS (e.g. changing demographics, response to current demands, consumer expectations, quality, personalisation, access to services, self-care, financial resources, addressing inequalities, cultural and gender discrimination and the determinants of health). | The work examined provides insufficient evidence of knowledge and understanding of the topic and is lacking development. The work is heavily dependent on description with poor evidence of linking factors. There is barely adequate use of literature or reading around the topic to support content. Review study guides related to assignment planning and critical reading which are available to meet LO requirements, academic support could also be accessed to review your work prior to submission. <10 marks | The work examined is sufficient to display basic knowledge and understanding but is largely descriptive. There is an attempt to bring together different aspects with little evidence of analysis of relevant factors included and limited use of references to support points. Review study guides related to assignment planning and critical reading which are available to improve and develop higher order skills. 10-12 marks | The work examined is good and demonstrates sound understanding of some of the drivers with some interpretation and comparison of relevant factors included. Competent use of source material using a variety of recent literature. 12-14 marks | Very good, the work examined is coherently structured, demonstrates a substantial knowledge and understanding of the drivers, which analyses the main factors supported by very good use of source material using a range of sources. 15-17 marks | The work examined is excellent and demonstrates comprehensive knowledge and understanding of the drivers.

| Research and referencing | Limited evidence of appropriate reading and no critical thought. Little reference to practice. No external information considered. Referencing is either inconsistent, not to NCD Guidelines or not attempted. | Some evidence of reading, although arguments lack coherence or are unsubstantiated by relevant source material. Some links to practice. Some reference to external information. Harvard referencing is attempted but is inconsistently used for in-text citations and/or Bibliographical and/or References listings. | Contains some critical reflection and use of source material to illustrate points. Ideas are supported by appropriate literature referenced. Harvard referencing is used both for in-text citations and Bibliographical and/or References listings but either does not meet the NCD Guidance or is inconsistent. | Good use of source materials which supports most points clearly. Integration of literature is accurately referenced. Harvard referencing for both for in-text citations and Bibliographical and/or References listings is to a high standard but not wholly accurate or does not meet the NCD Guidelines. | Source material is used effectively to support arguments, ideas and solutions. Evidence of a breadth of reading that allows an in depth exploration of the theory, literature, accurately referenced.
