Assist offenders to change behaviour

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit describes the skills required to support and monitor progress of offenders against their established change plan. It also covers the skills to review plan outcomes, provide feedback and recognise achievements.

This unit describes the performance standards expected for those working in a custodial, community or supervision environment within correctional services.

The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out. Organisational policies and procedures must be consulted and adhered to, particularly those related to contact with offenders.

A person undertaking this role would normally work autonomously with support from a range of established sources. The role is complex, drawing upon the candidate's extracting, extrapolating and inferencing processes.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
