Business Case meeting ~ Thursday 29 May

Susan and I met at TAFE to discuss the business case. We decided we will use the template provided so we meet all requirements. We also decided on the questionnaires we would use to measure the benefits of this project.

We discussed me taking a bigger role and Susan more of a support role as she has a number or other large commitments. I will continue working on the Business Case and include it on the edna group as a wiki so everyone concerned can edit it. http://www.groups.edna.edu.au/course/view.php?id=1897

Notes from discussion (will be incorporated in Business Case):

  • developing really clear knowledge and skills around all of the legal and ethical requirements necessary in order to work in Community Services
  • create a platform for students to access in order to have the necessary knowledge and skills whilst working at Bower Place and prior to working at Anglicare
  • create a model that we can apply to any work placement organisation
  • clinical setting for teaching of first point of contact skills
  • students exposed to legal and ethical requirements in Bower Place and the legal and ethical standards required in the industry placement
  • platform (moodle classroom) is to gain all of the information around requirements, protocols, mandated requirements of CS workers
  • must also include any industry specific information around referrals, networks, support groups etc.
  • understand the diversity of services available through the organisation
  • understanding specialist areas (ie, Anglicare) eg, aged care, refugee, family and community development, poverty, housing
  • questionnaires: (1) checklist before classes start, ie, skills audit type thing when they arrive at Bower Place (2) prior to Anglicare nb: placements in Oct and Nov (3) post Anglicare
  • questionnaires looking to confirm we are successful in preparing students for their placement
