It is anticipated, other than questions requiring completion of a table or where a word
count has been indicated, all other answers in Part B should have a word count of
approximately 100 words.
Q2
List four (4) common types of advocacy and
provide a description of each.
Self-advocacy: Self-advocacy refers to an individual’s ability to effectively communicate his or her
own interests, desires, needs and rights. It recognises that people are experts by experience and
involves them in speaking out for themselves about the things that are important to them. It
means that people are able to ask for what they want and need and to tell others about their
thoughts and feelings.
Group advocacy: Group advocacy involves people with shared experiences, positions or values
coming together in groups to talk and listen to each other and speak up collectively about issues
that are important to them. These groups aim to influence public opinion, policy and service
provision. They vary considerably in size, influence and motive. Representatives of local groups
are often included on planning committees and involved in the commissioning and monitoring of
health and social care services.
Peer advocacy: Peer advocacy refers to one-to-one support provided by advocates with a similar
disability or experience to a person using services. Trained and supported volunteers often
provide peer advocacy as part of a coordinated project. Peer advocacy schemes argue that they
are particularly well placed to empathise with the needs of people, to approach them as their
equals and to feel strongly about, and fight hard for, their needs.
Citizen advocacy: Citizen Advocacy aims to involve people in their local community by enabling
them to have a voice and to make decisions about the things that affect their lives. Citizen
advocacy partnerships are long term, not time-limited, and last for as long as the citizen
advocate and the individual want them to. Citizen advocates are ordinary members of the local
community. They are unpaid and usually operate with support from a coordinated scheme.

Edited: I would work one on one with the person, by this I mean if my client couldn’t make the
appointment time I would still ring the other agency and tell them what is going on as they will still need
to know, this could help them understand the situation a lot better.
Q3
What strategies can you use to assist a client to identify their own needs, choices, rights and
responsibilities?
Encourage them: EDITED help them make the right decisions
.
Support them: EDITED help them with whatever decisions that they make.
Help them: EDITED make sure that they know what that they are doing.
Give them advice: EDITED give them the advice on what we think may help the client as this could be
good for them.

Making sure that if there is a conflict of interest that you get out of that situation because you shouldn’t
work with a friend.
Just remind the client that when they are finished cooking that they need to turn off the oven as this
could potentially lead to the house catching fire.
If the client is worked up and threatens to hurt someone, try to calm them down, things you could do
are, do you want a coffee? Let’s go for a walk to the park, Did you watch the footy on the weekend?
Q10
When supporting a client to lodge a written complaint what information should include and what
processes should you then follow? (Word count of approximately 200 - 300 words)
Depending on what the complaint is about will depend on what type of information you will give them. If
it is a complaint is about a person or caseworker being verbally abusive or downgrading the client, we can
help them with what to write and how to write it.
If they can’t write they could even give you the information and then you write it for them.
Make sure that you tell them that if they go ahead with the complaint that it may be taken up in court,
make sure that you tell them about what else could happen.
Make sure that they get all the details 100% correct because if it is not correct then they could be banned
from that place.
If they are willing to write it make sure that they have spelt all the words correctly and then go through it
with them just to make sure that it makes sense with them and you.
If you have any witnesses make sure that you put their names down in the complaint so that they can give
evidence on what has possibly happened, the more information you can put down on the complaint the
more serious the company may take the complaint.
Make sure that you are clear on the outcome that you want to be achieved
Ask for help if you need help
Make sure that you have their contact details such as address, DOB, phone contact
When or where it happened
Details of how I am connected to the client
Name the organisation you are making a complaint against
Q11
What is the difference between advocacy, mediation and conciliation?
Advocacy: You are talking on behalf of someone that may have trouble understanding the situation.
Providing support directly to clients or users of services.
Mediation: you may be talking over a dispute to try and come to an agreement.
A neutral third party assists disputing parties in resolving conflict through the use of specialized communication and negotiation techniques.
Conciliation: Trying to resolve something with other people.
The
conciliator
is more like an interventionist who provides probable solutions to the parties concerned, to settle disputes
How is advocacy different from mediation and conciliation?
TAFE NSW Learner Name: [Learner Name]
Current Version: 07/02/2018

United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child
History: The UN General Assembly adopted the Convention and opened it for signature on 20 November 1989 (the 30th anniversary of its
Declaration of the Rights of the Child
). It came into force on 2 September
1990, after it was ratified by the required number of nations. Currently, 196 countries are party to it,
including every member of the United Nations
except the United States
.
Reference:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convention_on_the_Rights_of_the_Child
Significance and impact:
Nations that ratify this convention are bound to it by international law. Compliance is monitored by the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child, which is composed of members from countries around the world. Once a year, the Committee submits a report to the Third Committee of the United Nations General Assembly, which also hears a statement from the CRC Chair, and the Assembly adopts a Resolution on the Rights of the Child.
Governments of countries that have ratified the Convention are required to report to, and appear before, the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child periodically to be examined on their progress with regards to the advancement of the implementation of the Convention and the status of child rights in their country. Their reports and the committee's written views and concerns are available on the committee's website.
Reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convention_on_the_Rights_of_the_Child
How and where is this reflected in Australian Commonwealth and/or State or Territory Law?
The main international human rights treaty on children’s rights is the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), which Australia ratified in December 1990. The CRC incorporates all the general rights set out in other treaties that apply to everyone, as well as the special rights that apply to children.
