REACH ADVOCACY AWARD.
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 a 3 to 5 day induction and a 12-14 week online programme where candidates learn to build and develop a portfolio of human rights based case studies. These case studies will derive from candidates' personal work experiences and they will learn to apply the tools of a human rights based approach (FAIR model and PANEL principles) to these cases.
