CSC Correctional Services Training Package Case for Endorsement 1

DESCRIPTION OF WORK The purpose of the project is to combine the following projects listed in the Correctional Services Skills Forecast PSOW 2018 into one Training Package Release:

Cultural Competencies – Review

Cultural competency is essential for services offered by the State and Territory governments of Australia. Within the Corrections industry, it is important to improve communication and cultural understanding between Correctional Officers and Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander individuals and communities.

CSC Correctional Services Training Package material requires revision to ensure the skills need of Correctional Officers are effectively addressed across Australian states and territories.

Immigration Detention – Development

Immigration detention occurs when an individual does not lawfully abide by Australia’s visa rules, arrives with a lack of identification, poses a risk to national security, or other health and character concerns. Individuals are detained under the Migration Act 1958 at an Immigration Detention Facility (IDF). Detention is strictly administrative, not punitive, and as such, the role of an Immigration Detention Officer (an Authorised Officer, as per the Migration Act 1958) is unique within an IDF.

Correctional Services Training Package material is proposed for development to ensure the skills need of an Immigration Detention Officer (Authorised Officer) in an IDF is effectively addressed. The project addresses an identified industry skills gap that exists between Security Operations qualifications within the CPP Property Services Training Package and CSC Correctional Services Training Package in the Correctional Practice qualifications which have both been used to train Immigration Detention Officers.

Technical Skills – Review

Elective units of competency within the Certificate III in Correctional Practice do not accurately reflect contemporary Community Corrections skills or require reviewing and updating to reflect changed standards of emergency medical response procedures. This project will review industry skills for individuals undertaking Community Corrections roles, and all Correctional Services personnel required to respond emergency medical situations.

The project addresses identified Correctional Practice skill issues related to responding to medical emergencies, responding to offenders influenced by drugs or alcohol, and supervising offenders in the community.

Electronic Monitoring – Develop

This project will develop industry skills for individual to perform the role of an Electronic Monitoring Officer as directed by state and territory Corrective Services Acts. The project addresses an emerging industry micro credentialing skills need that exists within CSC Correctional Services Training Package.

New Correctional Services Training Package material proposed for development will ensure that the skill needs of Correctional Services Officers undertaking electronic monitoring of offenders is effectively addressed.

CSC Correctional Services Training Package Case for Endorsement 2

Youth Justice – Review

The management of young offenders across Australia has been identified as of significant concern to national, state and territory governments. CSC Correctional Services Training Package material is proposed for review to ensure the skill needs of Youth Justice Officers undertaking the custodial management of youth offenders is effectively addressed as per the jurisdictional youth justice Acts.

The project is to review youth custodial management skills for Correctional Services Officers for the supervision and management of young people who have offended.

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NEW TRAINING PACKAGE

Advice about how training package component(s) meet occupational and licensing requirements

Statutory/legislative requirements apply to some occupational roles, which may vary across states and territories. Advice is provided in the qualification description and unit application that users check with the relevant jurisdiction for current requirements. No licensing requirements were identified in the CSC Correctional Services Training Package.

Implementation issues of note and management strategy

No CSC Correctional Services Training Package components were identified for deletion in Release 2.0. Correctional Services qualifications and units of competency are written to meet needs and reflect current occupational outcomes and work practices for application across custodial, community and immigration detention work contexts. Implementation advice for the CSC Correctional Services Training Package Release 2.0, including contextualisation, is included within the Companion Volume Implementation Guide (CVIG).

Supporting equitable access and progression of learners

The proposed qualifications, skill set and units of competency meet the diverse needs of learners and industry organisations. Qualifications and units of competency that enable application in different contexts is demonstrated with the use of imported units of competency from other Training Packages. There is capacity for CSC Correctional Services qualifications and units of competency to be adapted to evolving job roles within the industry.

Equitable access and progression of learners is displayed. Assessment requirements state that ‘Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.’

The Equity Review undertaken for the CSC Correctional Services Training Package Release 2.0 provides evidence that the draft endorsed materials meet the requirements of flexibility and functionality. Access to training and mobility within and between industry sectors is supported by the Correctional Services IRC.

Supporting learner transition between education sectors

Correctional Services units of competency and qualifications are specific to the nature of the work carried out within Correctional Services occupational functions and have not previously been available within other education sectors. However, the attainment of a qualification may support access to further work and/or qualification pathways. There is limited opportunity for interaction between the School Education Sector and VET sector for the CSC Correctional Services Training Package, due mostly to the regulatory requirements of correctional organisations who are the major users of the materials.

Qualifications in the CSC Correctional Services Safety Training Package are suitable for delivery via an organisational Traineeship pathway.

Supporting movement of skills within and across organisations and sectors

Correctional Services qualifications are designed to allow attainment of general and specialist stream skills at various occupational levels in custodial, community and immigration detention organisations. The units of competency allow for contextualisation to local and jurisdictional settings. Inclusion of imported units of competency enables skills that may be adaptable for application across other justice agencies. Information

10

about Correctional Services pathways is contained in the CSC Correctional Services Training Package Companion Volume Implementation Guide (CVIG).

Implications of new and revised components

There are no known or identified negative impacts of new and revised components in the CSC Correctional Services Training Package Release 2.0.

Industry priorities for implementation

The CSC Correctional Services Training Package materials have been developed to address the identified areas of need or improvement, specifically:

• cultural and diversity units of competency that will assist organisations in meeting Prison to Work Report (2016) findings for inclusion of cultural competency training in VET programs for front-line staff

• youth justice units of competency and specialisation groups that are considerate of the recommendations from the Royal Commission report on Youth Detention (2017)

• Electronic Monitoring Operator Skill Set that meets the current needs of a new and emerging job function within Correctional Services

• Immigration Detention Officer qualification and units of competency to address the specific needs of administering people in immigration detention

• updated technical skill outcomes that more accurately reflect job functions and are suitable for custodial and community settings where appropriate.

Supporting implementation across a range of settings

The development, consultation and validation processes undertaken to develop the corrections material ensures that the units of competency and qualifications can be implemented nationally. Delivery of CSC Correctional Services training and assessment to learners can occur via a range of different delivery models, including training delivered in the workplace or at a training provider’s site, distance or online learning or by Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).

The units of competency specify delivery and assessment can occur in the workplace or in a simulated workplace environment according to the rules and risks of the work involved.

How the downstream impacts (including, state and territory funding arrangements) of the changes will be managed (for example, where the case for endorsement recommends the deletion of units/qualifications)

There are no anticipated funding impacts due to changes to the CSC Correctional Services Training Package Training Package related to deletions of recommended units of competency.

RTOs will need to review the Companion Volume Implementation Guide (CVIG) to view mapping tables and where necessary, adjust their Scope of Registration.

INDUSTRY EXPECTATIONS ABOUT TRAINING DELIVERY

11

Advice about how training package component(s) meet occupational and licensing requirements

The units of competency and Qualifications within the CSC Correctional Services Training Package do not lead to the attainment of industry licenses within any Commonwealth, state or territory jurisdiction. Within the CSC Correctional Services Training Package, there are no licensing requirements identified within units of competency.

Timelines for implementation of the components

It is expected that RTOs and correctional jurisdictions will implement revised training and assessment strategies based on the proposed materials, consistent with a general transition and teach-out timeframe of 12 months from time of endorsement and release on the National Register.

Packaging rules allow for new units of competency to be imported as soon as they are available on the national register, however RTOs will be required to add the qualification and skill set to their scope of registration prior to enrolling learners.

There is no requirement for a reduced or extended period of implementation time related to this submission.

Overarching expectations of industry for the delivery/assessment of the components

The CSC Correctional Services Training Package material has been written to represent the work requirements of industry and to specify the knowledge and skills required for job functions.

Evidence of performance must demonstrate that the learner has successfully met the requirements of the elements and performance criteria in the unit of competency. The frequency and volume of this evidence is determined by the assessor and typically, will vary depending on the context under which the assessment is conducted and the aptitude of the learner.

Assessors must hold credentials specified within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

All assessments must satisfy the ‘Principles of Assessment’ and ‘Rules of Evidence’ and all regulatory requirements included within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of the assessment.

It is anticipated that the CSC Correctional Services Training Package material will be delivered by a variety of enterprise, public and private RTOs. There are currently 55 RTOs listed on http://www.training.gov.au that have the CSC Correctional Services Training Package on their Scope of Registration at time of this submission.

Reflection of contemporary work organisation and job profiles

AIS and the Correctional Services IRC used a broad consultation and engagement model that allowed Correctional Services industry stakeholders to comment on all components being reviewed in this release.

Stakeholders came from a range of corrections, justice, health and community organisations and agencies, industry learning and development groups, industry and advocacy representative groups and training organisations.

The proposed qualifications, skill set, and units of competency have national portability and are based on job roles identified by industry. Whilst job roles internationally may have different titles, the skills and knowledge developed in the qualifications would support international portability within the Correctional Services industry. All qualification outcomes are aligned with the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF).

http://www.training.gov.au/

12

Future Training Package development and review will continue to consider the diversity of learners, their needs and to foster flexibility where it will not have an adverse effect on the outcomes of Correctional Services industry qualifications.

Credit arrangements existing between Training Package qualifications and higher education qualifications

The attainment of a specialist industry qualification may support access to further work and/or qualification pathways including tertiary courses. Currently, no nationally agreed credit transfer arrangements between the qualifications in the CSC Correctional Services Training Package and tertiary qualifications exists. However, individual higher education institutions may offer credit transfers based on previously gained qualifications, skills and experience.

COAG INDUSTRY SKILLS COUNCIL REFORMS TO TRAINING PACKAGES

Explanation of how the decision being sought from the AISC would support the COAG Industry and Skills Council reforms to training packages including to:

Remove obsolete, superfluous and duplicative qualifications and units from the system

Material reviewed for this release was not considered obsolete, superfluous or duplicative and no components were identified for deletion from the system. A thorough review of existing material was conducted prior to developing any new units or qualifications to ensure there was no duplication.

Include information about industry’s expectations of training delivery (i.e. duration of training mode of delivery and learner characteristics)

Industry’s expectations are that Correctional Services training provided by RTOs will address the needs of individuals and industry. The duration of training will be such that it provides individuals with the skills and knowledge that are relevant and transferable across industry sectors and organisations. Training delivery can be delivered on or off the job, via distance and/or online learning or through Recognised Prior Learning (RPL).

Improve qualification design to enable individuals to upskill and move easily from one related occupation to another

The packaging rules in the qualifications include core and elective units of competency and provide multiple and direct entry points. The units of competency within the skill set and qualifications provide transferable occupational skills that have national portability.

Improve the efficiency of the training system through the creation of units of competence that can be owned and used by multiple industry sectors

Corrections is a discrete, specialised and highly regulated industry. Where appropriate, material from the CSC Correctional Services Training Package may be suitable for use by other justice agencies. For example, the new CSCOFM030 Support offender rehabilitation and reintegration in the community Unit of competency contained in the Certificate III in Correctional Practice qualification may be suitable for use by the Community Services industry with some contextualisation. Two new units of competency included within the new Certificate III in Immigration Detention Operations are considered specific to the provision of Immigration Detention Services and are unlikely to be suitable for use outside of Correctional Services.

13

Foster greater recognition of skill sets

The development of a new skill set in the CSC Correctional Services Training Package addresses an identified industry knowledge and skill requirement. States and territories have differing legislation and monitoring technology that impacts individual corrections jurisdictions, as such the following skill set has been developed to apply to all corrections jurisdictions across Australia:

• CSCSS0001 Electronic Monitoring Operator Skill Set
