Unit 20: P2 and P3 - paperwork

P2 and P3 for Unit 20 are all about paperwork. You will have done this before at least once for your other units.

You can find all the forms documents you need by clicking here.


However, since you are working in a workbook, you may wish to create your own versions. The easiest way to do this is to click insert, then select table, then select the size of the table you want to create. See below for how to find this option.


Below is a student example (thanks AL!) for a risks and hazards slide. Since you will be working from your own home, there's not likely to be many hazards, so you may need to use your imagination!


Here's a rundown of all the elements of P2 and P3.

Recce


Recce is (sort of) short for 'reconnaissance', a military term involving scouting out a place before you actually go there. For this activity, you will be completing a recce of your home. Please do not leave your home! Podcasts, while important, definitely do not come under essential work...

Risks and hazards


What issues and dangers might there be when making your podcast? Mild risks and hazards include 

  • Background noise
  • People walking in when you are recording
  • Tripping over wires
  • Dropping your phone and breaking it
  • Spilling coffee on your computer


Solutions to risks and hazards




Here you present solutions to the issues you presented in the last slide. For example, as you can see in the above image, in my office/cupboard under the stairs, I am undertaking the risky behaviour of drinking a coffee and leaving it on my computer. However, I have solved this risk by putting the coffee in a mug with a lid on it.

TOP TIP - you can the risks & hazards and the solutions on the same slide!

Legal and ethical


Legal and ethical is a bit more serious. Again, you've done this before, but as a reminder:

Legal issues break the law. 


They include copyright infringement (using songs without people's permission) and breaking and entering in to a location. Don't do these things!

Ethical issues may offend or upset people


These include subject matter, for example making a show about drugs (please do not do this), or libel, which is making an untrue claim about someone. 

In fact, if taken to court, libel can be a legal issue also!

It is unlikely you will be breaking the law when making this podcast. One thing to remember is that you are legally allowed to use short amounts of copyrighted music under what is known as the fair use policy. But it's even better to use non-copyrighted music

Talent release


If you have someone in your podcast who is not you, you should use a talent release form. You can download an example of one by clicking here. You do not need to print this, but can get the person to 'sign' their name by writing it in block capitals.
