Correctional Officer promotional courses In accordance with the Correctional Officer 2014-2017 Enterprise Agreement, Correctional Officers must undertake certain training and qualifications to progress in their career through the ranks. Those who meet the required criteria are eligible to apply and commence their study for the Certificate IV in Correctional Practice. In 2016, the number of units required to complete the qualification was changed from 18 units to 12 units under the national standards.

During 2015-16, three separate Senior Correctional Promotional Courses were delivered. There were 29 new enrolments in the Certificate IV Correctional Practice and 13 students who completed the qualification. Correctional Officer Core Skills Training Essential core skills for Correctional Officers are maintained through a structured approach to on-going training. Core training is conducted each week with Correctional Officers from both correctional centres being taken off the roster to participate in training and requalification in the areas of Defensive Tactics, First Aid, Advanced Resuscitation, Chemical Agents and various other disciplines as required.

PERFORMANCE, ACHIEVEMENTS AND OUTCOMES Youth Justice Training Youth Justice Officer: Leon Rotumah Probation and Parole Officer Training The NTDCS Registered Training Organisation (RTO) is currently introducing a Quality Assurance System to cover qualifications under its scope. Community Corrections are required to design and develop a range of materials to support new Probation and Parole Officers undertaking the Certificate IV in Correctional Practice. Materials being developed include a Learner Guide, Trainer Assessment Plan and Assessment Handbook for each unit of the qualification. It is envisaged that the materials will be available for the cohort who commence Block Training in October 2016. Block Training framework for new Probation and Parole Officers In 2015, Community Corrections introduced a 12 week Block Training framework to compliment the Bulk Recruitment initiative. The training included a mix of classroom based theory and office placements to enhance the effective transfer of learning. The 12 week program was successfully delivered to two cohorts who subsequently took up positions and caseloads in Community Corrections offices in Alice Springs, Katherine, Casuarina, Palmerston and Nhulunbuy. A review of the framework was undertaken early in 2016,and the duration was reduced from 12 to nine weeks which modifies the amount of time originally allocated to both training delivery and office placement. The program was delivered to a small group of new Probation and Parole Officers on site over a period of months. The revised program will be reviewed again after delivery later in 2016. During 2015-16, all Probation and Parole Officers received training in youth justice legislative and national standards, as well as the evidence-based Youth Level of Service/ Case Management Inventory 2.0 (YLS/CMI) criminogenic risk and needs assessment tool and the Changing Habits and Reaching Targets (CHART) program. Case Managers from Youth Detention and other key stakeholders also attended this training. In total, 97 staff have undertaken this training, which was delivered in 10 separate training programs in Darwin and Alice Springs. Trauma Informed Care and Strengths Approach to Supervision training are scheduled for delivery later in 2016. PART (Predict, Assess and Respond to Challenging and Aggressive Behaviour) Probation and Parole Officers from across the NT (Alice Springs, Katherine and Darwin) received training in Predict, Assess and Respond to Challenging and Aggressive Behaviour (PART). This training covers workplace safety systems and how a systemic approach enhances safety in the workplace. This training will be rolled out for other Community Corrections locations in the next fiscal year. DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONAL SERVICES 117
