Hi Mille

 I think, if I understand correctly, the reason the children are not allow to talk or ask questions, is that this assessment is for Communication - a Key Skill, not to do with the CCLD NVQ.

  Key Skills are a transferables skills, which come as a qualification along side an NVQ in any subject, if you undertake an NVQ free of charge, as part of the Modern Apprenticeship Scheme.  Everyone under taking a Modern Apprenticeship Scheme has to undertake a Key Skills qualification, which is normally Application of Number, Information Technology & Communication.  Therfore these Key Skills are not particularly aimed at working with children, but are basic skills anyone may need if employed, and would be useful if the person changed profession.

 Since the Skill being assessed in the work place is Communication, and the assessment is on a talk given to a group, it could be just as easily, a talk in a staff meeting, to the other team members. It is just that the assessor probably thinks it would be better to get an assessment of you giving a talk to a group of children, because then areas of you CCLD NVQ could probably also be assessed at the same time.  However, this assessment is to gague the NVQ candidates skills in Commcunication. It should always be the NVQ candidates choice, what will be assessed, and they should be able to choose whether the talk is to a group of children or to a group of adults.  

Good luck sugarplumfairy677 on your assessment, hope it goes well.
