Strategic Purpose Statement |
The National Certificate in Social Service Work in Suicide Intervention (Level 6) is a qualification for social service workers who are working at a professional level of competency. People who seek award of this qualification will be professional social service workers wishing to upgrade or gain recognition for their existing social service knowledge and skills for working in suicide intervention.
People awarded this qualification are able to recognise, respond to, and report suicide risk factors and signs of distress in a person. They can assess a person identified as being at risk of suicide, and manage suicide risk with a person. Their work is informed by knowledge of mental health, and loss and grief, and analysis of contextual factors related to suicide. They work within the framework of Te Tiriti o Waitangi, ethics, and relevant legislation. They demonstrate consistent use of professional supervision (sometimes referred to as clinical supervision), as part of safe practice. Elective unit standards offer the opportunity for people to extend their qualification in suicide prevention, intervention, or postvention according to their field of practice in community work, counselling, Iwi/Maori social services, social work, or youth work. This qualification is designed for social service workers who have already been awarded one of the prerequisite qualifications or who can demonstrate equivalent knowledge and skills. It does not lead on to any other qualification. Unit 7917, Demonstrate self awareness in relation to social services work is a compulsory unit standard for this qualification. Unit 7917 is included in the National Diploma in Social Services with strands in Community Work, Counselling, and Social Work (Level 6) [Ref: 0251], and the National Diploma in Youth Work (Level 6) [Ref: 0670], so holders of either of those qualifications will have credit for that unit standard. Unit 7963, Contribute to the empowerment of people experiencing oppression and marginalisation is a compulsory unit standard for this qualification. People awarded this qualification will understand the concepts of oppression and marginalisation as a result of factors that include but are not limited to abuse, disabilities, gender, poverty, race, or sexual orientation, and will understand the relationship between oppression and marginalisation and suicide risk. Unit 7963 is included in the National Certificate in Iwi/Maori Social Services (Level 4) [Ref: 0666], and the National Certificate in Social Services (Level 4) [Ref: 0250], so holders of either of those qualifications will have credit for that unit standard. |
