D1 - Refresher

Compare legal, ethical and operational issues that may affect organisations

evidence must include a comparison of at least two criteria for each of the legal, ethical and operational issues and how they affect at least two different organisation types.

This evidence could be an extension of P3 but should compare the examples. Evidence of effects on the organisation must be clearly explained within the learner evidence.
