2 <strong>Positive</strong> behaviour support: Getting it right from the start - Facilitators reference manual<br />

Learning outcomes, assessment and achieving competency<br />

Successful completion <strong>of</strong> this training package requires you to attend the three day program<br />

and competently complete homework requirements provided at the end <strong>of</strong> Day 2. The program<br />

facilitator will tell you if you have met the requirements.<br />

The program, however, does not lead to achievement <strong>of</strong> a formal acredited competency.<br />

If you wish to seek formal recognition for the skills and knowledge you have acquired through<br />

this program, the following guidelines will assist you.<br />

The content, activities and homework tasks contained in this package should enable you to meet<br />

the following learning outcomes:<br />

• Demonstrate understanding <strong>of</strong> the influence and purpose <strong>of</strong> behaviour<br />

• Assess problem behaviour<br />

• Develop multi-element support plans to meet individual needs<br />

• Develop an individual response plan<br />

• Monitor effectiveness <strong>of</strong> response plan<br />

• Complete documentation<br />

These learning outcomes are contained in the unit <strong>of</strong> competency entitled Plan and provide<br />

advanced behaviour support (National code: CHCICS404A)<br />

This unit <strong>of</strong> competency forms a compulsory unit in Certificate IV in Disability (National course<br />

code: CHC40308), and an elective unit in the Advanced Diploma <strong>of</strong> Disability (National course<br />

code: CHC60108).<br />

Both these courses are contained in the Community <strong>Services</strong> Training Packages CHC08, which<br />

are nationally recognised qualifications relevant to this industry.<br />

If you are seeking formal recognition <strong>of</strong> competency for this unit, you will need to approach<br />

a registered training organisation (RTO) that delivers the relevant courses. An RTO is the only<br />

organisation type that can provide formal recognition <strong>of</strong> competency. This includes TAFEs and<br />

private providers. The RTO will explain the process, fee and evidence they require to assess<br />

your knowledge and skills against this competency. If the RTO is satisfied you have produced<br />

adequate evidence, you will be formally given the unit <strong>of</strong> competency.<br />

It is recommended the following evidence be provided to the RTO:<br />

• The learners manual including the completed activities<br />

• The homework completed at the end <strong>of</strong> Day 2 (all participants should have a copy)<br />

• The RTO will also ask seek additional evidence to see that you have applied the knowledge<br />

and skills in your workplace.<br />

The individual RTO will instruct you according to their own requirements, policies and<br />

procedures.<br />

Your regional Learning and Development co-ordinator may be able to suggest an RTO to<br />

approach.
