This unit describes the skills required to match services to offenders and support those services.
This unit applies to those working with offenders in custody or in community services within a limited range of familiar and predictable contexts; working in a coordinated team is integral to the role. Support services can be defined as:

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 interaction with offenders and service provision.
Those undertaking this unit work with moderate support. The role involves explicit tasks involving a limited number of familiar steps.
