Training
The Scarlet Alliance National Training Project (SANTP) is an assessment package consisting of 14 core modules and 4 elective modules. The project provides sex worker peer educators with an assessment tool which formally recognizes the unique skills they utilize in undertaking health promotion and community development work within sex worker communities. Participants in the training project are required to undertake an assessment process, supported by a qualified peer assessor, to achieve a nationally recognized Diploma of Community Education qualification. To successfully achieve the qualification, participants are required to demonstrate and document how they have employed peer education principles in their work with sex workers.
Modules in the training project include:
- communication
- community development
- project management
- public and community education
- working with sex workers
The training package was developed as a strategy to assist sex worker organisations and projects to deliver a nationally consistent standard of peer education.
