PASSING
PASSING is designed for people who have completed an SRV theory event offered by an approved training group and wish to further their understanding of SRV and its application. It is an intensive 5-day course where participants visit two human services organisations and spend time with the people supported by those services, as well as with the staff and managers. Participants then use the PASSING evaluation tool to evaluate each of the services they have visited.
Services visited often include aged care facilities, special schools, day programs, business services, employment services, and accommodation services.
Participants should attend if they have a real desire to better understand the complex ideas behind SRV so as to apply this to real life situations. A willingness to learn through a rigorous process is highly beneficial for application that will assist people get better lives.
Values in Action is extremely grateful to the services that volunteer their agencies for the training of PASSING participants.
