This tender seeks a qualified service provider to deliver Professional Assault Response Training for Child and Youth Care Workers and Social Workers. The training aims to enhance staff capacity in managing aggressive behavior and ensuring safety in high-risk environments over a duration of 3-5 days.
The KwaZulu-Natal Department of Social Development is inviting bids for the provision of Professional Assault Response Training (PART) aimed at Child and Youth Care Workers and Social Workers. This training is crucial for professionals working in secure care facilities and Gender-Based Violence (GBV) service environments, where they face high-risk and emotionally charged situations. The training will equip participants with essential skills to prevent, de-escalate, and safely manage aggressive behavior, thereby enhancing workplace safety and improving service delivery outcomes.
The successful service provider will be responsible for delivering both theoretical and practical components of the training, which must include modules on understanding aggression, trauma-informed care, and legal considerations. Participants will engage in practical simulations and competency assessments, and upon successful completion, they will receive certificates of competence. This initiative not only aims to reduce workplace incidents but also to foster a culture of trauma-informed practices that align with child protection principles and human rights standards, ultimately benefiting the vulnerable populations served by these professionals.
This tender is suitable for training providers with accreditation in assault response or related fields, particularly those experienced in delivering training to social workers and child care professionals. Businesses with a proven track record in trauma-informed care and safety management training are encouraged to apply.
