Summary of revision and consultation process

After initial conversations with NZQA, a request was made to Careerforce by the New Zealand Police on behalf of themselves and other organisations which provide support for people impacted by Family Violence, Sexual Violence and Violence within Whānau, for a qualification to both recognise the skills and knowledge of people trained to work in this field and to strengthen the workforce.

 

Main changes resulting from the revision

A new Integrated Practice (Family and Whānau Harm) strand was added to the qualification.  

Two additional graduate outcomes were added for the new strand. The three core compulsory graduate outcomes remain unchanged.

The qualification credit range was amended to 45 – 70 credits to reflect the new strand credits.

No last date of assessment for programmes leading to version 2 of this qualification has been assigned. Both version 2 and version 3, remain current.

The review date remains unchanged.
