Consistent Follow-through
Consider whether an action follows through on the facts and commitments already present in the scenario.
How to prepare for the Casework Skills Test
Learn the instructions and response scales first, then practise evidence-bounded judgement and controlled accuracy with original, non-official material.
Core concepts
Concept 1
continuity across the scenario
Exam cue: Compare the proposed action with what has already happened or been communicated.
Concept 2
follow-through
Exam cue: Identify any stated issue the action leaves unresolved.
Concept 3
fact consistency
Concept 4
unresolved service issue
Risk pitfalls and guardrails
Ignoring earlier contact or commitments in the scenario.
Guardrail: Do not import specialist policy knowledge, copy secure material, invent official timings or weights, rank independent actions, or trade exactness for uncontrolled speed.
Treating a partial response as complete because it addresses the easiest point.
Guardrail: Do not import specialist policy knowledge, copy secure material, invent official timings or weights, rank independent actions, or trade exactness for uncontrolled speed.
Memory anchors
Read backward before forward
Earlier events constrain a useful next action.
Follow-through closes loops
Address what the scenario has already put in motion.
Consistency check
The action should fit known facts and prior communication.
Partial is not complete
List any material issue left open.
Do not restart the case
Use information already available.
Outcome over appearance
A polished action may still leave the core issue unresolved.
Checkpoint rule
Do the check-up only after you can summarize each concept in one sentence and identify one dangerous pitfall from memory.

A customer has already confirmed their address twice. Proposed action: ask for it again because the caseworker did not read earlier notes. How should this action be rated?
