Where are we up to? Phase 5: Consultation on draft Addiction Intervention Competency Framework 1 June – August 2010 www. matuaraki.org.nz/ Next steps: Revise on basis of feedback Present to Dapaanz Executive then MOH Implementation -1 Dec 2010 onwards

Today  Present overview of the draft framework  Highlight what’s new about the draft framework  A taste of feedback so far  Your feedback

Addiction Intervention Competency Framework DRAFT: Who’s in? Outlines competency pathways for key groups eg:  Problem Gambling Counsellors  AOD Practitioners and Associate Practitioners  AOD Support Workers  AOD Peer-support Workers  Smoking Cessation Workforce (not generalists)

Competency pathways Peer Addiction Problem AOD Support Support Gambling Practitioner Worker Practitioner Foundation Essential & Practitioner

Everything you ever need to know…………. NOT

Competency requirements  Generic: essential requirements for all in role  Accessible: need an education/training pathway  Assessable: must be possible to provide evidence of competency

Values and attitudes  Let’s get real  Apply to all pathways  Including but not limited to……

Foundation competency domains  Working with clients  Working with Māori  Working with Pacific peoples  Applying principles of social justice  Professional responsibility  Working with families and whānau  Working with groups  Working within communities

Role specific In addition to the Foundation competencies  PG Practitioner  AOD Practitioner  Smoking Cessation  Support worker  1 competency per role  Peer support worker: new role; stand-alone

What’s new? Three workforce groups in one framework Emphasis on co-existing addictions and mental health Previously no sector competencies for PG Changes to AOD Practitioner competencies Comprehensive competencies for Smoking Cessation Role specific competencies for Support workers Role specific competencies for Peer support workers

Previously no sector competencies for PG workforce  Sector wide competencies and professional registration options are new to the PG sector  To date: mixed views within PG sector on value of this and of being part of the wider addiction sector  DAPAANZ now has PG representation on Exec Committee and a PG registration option

Changes to AOD Practitioner competencies  More overt focus on recovery, wellbeing, strengths  Working with Māori : based on LGR and Takarangi  Working with Pacific Peoples: adapted version of RS+ Seitapu  Both of the above carry training implications  Support worker: attempts to define support work  Peer support: emerging role

Comprehensive competencies for Smoking Cessation  Spell out foundation competency requirements  Existing workforce likely to require training in some areas – for those who want to opt in  Training pathways for this group need to be clarified  Implementation timeframes will need to factor this in  To date: high level of support from SC sector to be part of wider addiction sector

Feedback on the Draft so far  Mainly positive  Surprises:  Too much emphasis on public health and health promotion  Mixed views on diversity focus in the draft; no specific competency on working with “Asian people”  Conflicting opinions on level of detail  Training needs: Working with Māori , Working with Pacific Peoples; Problem Gambling; co-existing issues for SC workforce
