REACH Advocacy Practice Award,
SCQF level 7  .

REACH Advocacy Practice Award is a SCQF level 7 qualification which provides candidates with an education and training in Human Rights Based Advocacy.

 

The award consists of candidates participating in 6, 2.5hr teaching modules and a 12-14 week online program where candidates learn to build and develop a portfolio of human rights based case studies. These case studies will derive from candidates' own experiences where they will learn to apply the tools of a human rights based approach (FAIR model and PANEL principles). In doing this, candidates learn to embed a human rights based approach to advocacy through reflecting on their own experiences of delivering and/ or accessing services.  

Why study with REACH? .

TESTIMONIALS .
