Facilitate the Empowerment of People Receiving Support equips you with the skills to support individuals in making informed choices and taking control of their lives. You’ll explore key principles such as person-centred practice, dignity of risk, and self-determination, while learning how to recognise and respond to potential rights breaches, abuse, or neglect. This unit encourages deep reflection on personal values and social constructs, helping you work respectfully across diverse cultural and individual needs in disability, aged care, and other support settings.
Throughout the course, you’ll develop practical strategies to overcome barriers to empowerment, promote advocacy, and support people in setting and communicating their personal goals. You’ll also learn to use strengths-based approaches, offer appropriate assistance, and support the use of assistive technology. Whether you’re new to the sector or refining your practice, this unit builds confidence and capacity to work ethically, inclusively, and in true partnership with the people you support.
Printed learning materials are available for purchase for this course and can be ordered during enrolment.
