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. In doing this, candidates learn to reflect on their own work experience and how to improve their advocacy skills through applying a human rights based approach in their work.
