Diploma of Child, Youth and Family Intervention
Nationally Recognised Vocational Education and Training (VET)CHC50321 Diploma of Child, Youth and Family Intervention develops the skills needed to improve the living and emotional circumstances of children and young people at risk and their families. This qualification reflects the role of workers in out-of-home care facilities and settings related to child protection and family support work. It includes all aspects of case management, communication, developing a professional practice and working with people who have mental health issues.
Work will be performed under limited supervision or within a team, and workers are responsible for planning and prioritising their own work program to achieve targets. This qualification is for people who are wanting to pursue supervisory and management level positions, and the course content reflects the role of people with responsibility for the development and outcomes of programs and services.
They may, depending on the focus of their role, supervise other workers and carry out activities related to improvement of personal living and emotional circumstances of a child or young person at risk. They may exercise legal authorities and delegated decision making on relevant statutory matters.
