| dc.description.notes | This article looks at accredited training to coordinate efforts to address violence against women. There has been no consistent interagency training programme in Queensland to address the needs of new personnel. This training gap has already been identified in three Government reports. The Report of the Taskforce on Women and the Criminal Code:(February 2000) advocated for coordination and consistency across government and non-government agencies. The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Women’s Task Force on Violence Report:(March 2000) recognised the need for training packages to focus on specific intervention approaches in regional areas. The Report of the CEAVAW Project Coordinating Efforts to Address Violence Against Women:(2002) also raised training issues for specialist government workers as well as workers in generalist services, the first point of contact for women victims. The Queensland Centre for Domestic and Family Violence Research (CDFVR) secured funding from the State Office for Women, Department of Local Government, Planning, Sport and Recreation to facilitate the development of an accredited training course for more effective coordinated responses to family violence. The course will address national domestic and family violence competencies, target gaps in training, and focus on issues affecting women who are disadvantaged due to geographic location or minority group status. When approved, the accredited training course will be a nationally recognised qualification under the Australian Quality Training Framework. A preliminary investigation of existing accredited training courses on domestic violence, as part of project’s Stage 1, found that there are no accredited training courses addressing domestic violence in Queensland but there is accredited training in NSW and Victoria. The nationally endorsed Community Services Training Package (CSTP) contains 10 Units of Competency on family violence. Some of these units are included in qualifications issued under the CSTP, such as the Certificate II in Community Services (First Point of Contact) and Certificates III and IV in Community Services Work, for support workers, caseworkers and client contact officers. However, there is a lack of training resources to support their delivery. Stage 1 of the project also conducted a state-wide survey of training needs, with 355 responses. Stage 2 of the project on consultation was also undertaken. | en |
