Phase 3 - Drafting
The next phase of the project will
involve us drafting the units and elements of competency. These drafts will
then be circulated in the form of a questionnaire, to a sample of
practitioners for consideration and feedback. After receiving feedback, a
small reference group of practitioners will help us to further refine the
units of competency. In this phase, we will also be continuing to build our
database of support materials.
·
Phase 4 – Feedback and final
validation
Final drafts of the units of competency
and a summary of the audit of support materials will be emailed to
participants from the first three phases of the project with requests for
feedback and comment.
·
Phase 5 – Submission to the
Australian National Training Authority
The materials and information will be
submitted to ANTA for the endorsement process. The final report for the
project will be submitted to the Attorney-General’s Department.
During these phases, the team is being,
and will continue to be, involved in:
Ø Teleconferences with the Project Advisory Group.
Ø Conferences and meetings as ideas are forming and work is being
drafted, for example:
·
National Conference on Crime
Prevention, Hilton Hotel, Sydney, 12-13 September
·
NSW crime prevention
practitioners annual Safer Towns and Cities
Forum from 16-18 September at Shellharbour.
·
A gathering of WA crime prevention officers to review a
draft report (blueprint) on crime prevention from the Office of Crime
Prevention when it is released.
How can you be a part of this project?
Our
aim is to produce a set of materials – new elective units, recommendations
for customising existing units and support materials – that will reflect
various roles undertaken by crime prevention practitioners around Australia and that can be used by the broad range
of industry sectors with an interest in crime prevention.
To
ensure we meet this aim, we are seeking your involvement along the way:
- we urge you to
help us by disseminating this Newsletter and any other materials as
widely as possible to others in your organisations
- we encourage you
to contact us with your comments or questions on the project,
especially our first draft headings as outlined in this newsletter.
Thank you to everyone who responded to our request
for training and resource materials – we appreciate your information. We
fully understand that people have great demands on their time, so we
appreciate your participation!
Thank you for your interest in our project!
