  * Home Audit Section (topic four): The timing of this section is an individual decision. Some might feel that it is better to complete the theories and solutions, and finish with how the detail all comes together in the audit. This is how our pilot programs operated. This would mean section four could follow section seven. However, in many respects it makes sense to deliver this part of the training first, so that community care workers understand what the task will be which they have to complete. The remainder of the training is then the technical detail of what is in the audit and what choices are available for various issues. (We would welcome feedback on how you delivered the training and how well it worked.)    Disclaimer Environment Victoria provides this training package as a guide. However, it cannot take responsibility or liability for any loss, damage or injury incurred as a result of the use of any of the information within this training package. We recommend that you obtain appropriate professional advice and assistance where necessary.
