PART™ Training has been provided across Australia since 1989. This is a course designed to train staff to manage difficult and aggressive situations involving students while still maintaining duty of care. PART™ Training is designed to assist staff to identify and respond confidently, using a range of techniques, to student aggressive behaviour. The PART™ Training philosophy is to provide a range of responses that are safe, ethical, meets legal and industry standards, and enables schools and staff to meet their duty of care responsibilities towards students. It is widely used by many education and health systems throughout Australia, including the Western Australian Department of Education and Training, Independent and Catholic education systems.
The course has been recommended by WorkCover to organisations to be pro-active in the prevention and management of client challenging behaviours and aggression. It also assists organisations to meet the OH&S and Safe Workplace legislation requirements and reduce workplace injuries and associated costs resulting from client aggression. PART™ Training has been mapped against a range of Units of Competency in behaviour management. Participants who successfully complete the PART™ Training course are eligible to apply for accreditation or recognition of prior learning (RPL) through their education institution or Workplace Training Assessor.
