spanning tree

If you have a port in the BLK state that should be in the forwarding state, how would you ensure the issue is spanning tree and how would you correct?

Spanning tree protocol is really the only mechanism that I can think of that would put a port in a BLK state. Others might put it in an error-disabled state, but blocking is pretty much a spanning tree thing.

The blocking state isn't actually a problem as it's preventing your network from creating a layer-2 loop, so there isn't really anything to correct.

What is it that you're trying to do with this port?
