Further evidence other than the required PDRP elements is not routinely required in the PDRP expert portfolio.

Client records must not be accessed for the purposes of putting your portfolio together. Do not include any copies of client records or any information in your portfolio which can result in those involved being identifiable. This means no client or colleague personal details and any identifiers can be used (‘identifiers’ include information such as a person’s date of birth, address or NHI, minority ethnicity, occupation, work situation and community). It also means ensuring you do not provide context and description of a situation to a degree that could identify a person/people. The exception is where a piece of evidence requires a colleague’s name/role on it, such where a piece has been signed by or verified by a colleague e.g. an attestation, performance appraisal. For further guidance see the NZNO Guidelines: Privacy, Confidentiality and consent in the use of Exemplars of Practice, Case Studies, and Journaling (2016).
