The Toitū te Waiora Workforce Development Council will be closing operations from 19 December, and disestablished from 31 December 2025. The Education, Health and Community Industry Skills Board will pick up its functions.

Unit standard 28517, Recognise and report changes and risks for a person in a health or wellbeing setting, is proposed for revision in response to a coroners inquiry which recommended that people who provide support in a health or wellbeing setting should have knowledge of the risks of trapping, particularly in relation to the use of pressure-relieving mattresses.

  • A definition for trapping was added to the guidance information.
  • A performance criterion covering the risks associated with trapping was added to outcome 3.
