SANTP

Scarlet Alliance and our member projects and organisations have supported staff throughout Australia to participate in an on-going process acknowledging the high level of skills held by peer educators. This process of documenting and defining the specific and highly diverse skills of peer educators has resulted in the development of a highly successful National Training Project which is supported by resources in a National Training Package. The skills identified and assessed as part of this project inform the high level of service delivery by member sex worker organisations in Australia.

The Scarlet Alliance Diploma in Community Education includes 18 units of competency (14 compulsory and 4 elective). Eleven of these have been adapted specifically for peer educators working with sex workers. Download print DL flyer

The competencies have been grouped into five ‘work function areas’ that relate to the many tasks carried out by Sex Worker Peer Educators. These work functions areas include: Communication, Community Development, Project Management, Public and Community Education and Working with sex workers.

A group of Educators have achieved the Certificate IV as Workplace Assessors & Trainers. A Workkit and e-list support the work of assessors and each applicant receives an extensive guide to assist the process.

The Guide describes a workplace assessment process, the expectations and roles of both the applicant and the assessor, outlines each step of the assessment process and supporting materials.
