PM&C UPDATEWelcome to the October edition of the RSAS newsletter. Make sure you also tune in to this month’s webinar presented by Jenny Allen from Ngala which is about getting to the bottom of what good practice is, and how you can incorporate evidence based practice in your workplace. This webinar will also provide some excellent easy to use tools and ideas to support improved practice- a must watch! NESA UPDATEWow! What an incredible month October has been. So many amazing workshops held where participants were engaged, encouraged, supported, and mentored through their training journey. We are now coming to the delivery of the final face-to-face workshops for 2018 (see what’s coming up below). Congratulations to everyone who has had the opportunity to attend one of our workshops this month and we look forward to receiving your feedback. Don’t forget to check out our Facebook page where we are showcasing RSAS workshops in real time! The first two podcasts are live and available for RSAS teams to watch via the NESA-RSAS website or our Facebook page. Two new podcasts covering “Working with Parents and Families with Complex Situations” and “Conflict Resolution” will be published later in October. Accredited training update. NESA, in conjunction with PM&C, is in the process of developing two NEW accredited training units. These units will contribute towards staff attaining a nationally recognised certification and will be open to all RSAS staff who are keen to gain a formal qualification in Leadership (Cert IV) or Community Services (Cert III). Over 40% of RSAS staff who participated in the first accredited training from May 2018 have successfully completed their units. NESA will support participants with mentoring and webinars to ensure that all staff understand the training material and how to complete the final assessment. NESA’s goal and commitment is to support all RSAS staff through the accreditation training. Enrolment details will be announced shortly. The two new Accredited Units are: BSBMGT401 – Show leadership in the workplace: This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to lead teams and individuals by modelling high standards of conduct to reflect the organisation's standards and values. It applies to individuals who are making the transition from being a team member to taking responsibility for the work and performance of others and providing the first level of leadership within the organisation. These managers have a strong influence on the work culture, values and ethics of the teams they supervise. CHCCOM005 - Communicate and work in health or community services: This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to communicate effectively with clients, colleagues, management and other industry providers. This unit applies to a range of health and community service contexts where workers may communicate face-to-face, in writing or using digital media and work with limited responsibility under direct or indirect supervision. RSAS staff who are still in the process of completing one of the following units still have plenty of time to finish their training. · FSKOCM07 - Interact effectively with others at work · CHCPRT001 - Identify and respond to children and young people at risk · BSBLDR402 - Lead effective workplace relationships To help students progress and complete their chosen unit, we now offer access to the units via a smart device. Click here to see the steps to access the online learning platform via an Apple device or an Android device. A Facebook Messenger group has also been set up to support students throughout their online training journey with any questions they may have. Through this group, students can connect with other students as well as the trainer and assessor. The steps to friend the NESA RSAS Facebook group are also noted below.
