Unit Human RIGHTS ADVISOR COURSE (CHAP) Facilitator’s Guide April 12, 1999 ‘4.2006.00440--0001ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The Directorate of Cadets wishes to acknowledge and thank the Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC}, the Canadian Red Cross {CRC}, the Canadian Hockey Association (CHA), BOMI Video Tape Productions Ltd., and Consulting and Audit Canada (CAC) for their assistance in developing these training materials. We especially thank Ms. Judi Fairholm of the CRC for her invaluable contribution to this project on the subject of child abuse, and the CHA for its permission to reproduce and adapt some of its training materials on abuse. We also wish to thank BOMI for the production of the video that accompanies the CHAP training program. Finally we wish to thank Mr. Yvon Vaillant, and Ms. Linda Pollock, Consulting and Audit Canada. Mr. Vaillant acted as project manager and oversaw the development of the Cadet Harassment and Abuse Prevention (CHAP) policy and Ms, Linda Pollock managed the development of the training components of the program. Primary Goats This course has two primary goals: * to prepare Unit Human Rights Advisors (UHRA) to instruct cadets on their rights and responsibilities with respect to harassment and abuse using the Cadet Harassment and Abuse Prevention (CHAP) training program, and * to prepare the UHRA to advise cadets and the chain of ‘command on the handling of harassment and abuse complaints, in compliance with the Harassment and Abuse policy of the CCM (CATO 13-24) TARGET PoPULATION The target population of this workshop is approximately 1100 CIC ‘s who have been recruited to deliver the CHAP training program at the local headquarters (LHQ) to cadets. As a pre- requisite for this course these instructors must already have attended the SHARP program on harassment and all training periods related to abuse which form part of the curriculum for the CIC qualification standard up to and including the Lieutenant level ‘8.2006.00440--0002 Human Rights Advisor WorkshopTRAINING STRATEGY The assumption underlying this training for trainers program is that the learning styles of teenagers and the sensitive and emotional content of CHAP necessitates a more facilitative instructor style than is commonly required of military instruc- tors. For this reason many of the sessions in this course use interactive exercises that model the methodologies we believe are needed in presenting CHAP to cadets. At the same time, this approach acknowledges the training experience that CIC's already have and gives them the opportunity to share it with each other. This strategy is implemented in the following steps: ‘Step one demonstrates the delivery of the CHAP training program, with the UHRA's playing the role of cadets. Step two takes the UHRAS, in the role of facilitator, through a detailed analysis of both the content and methodology of CHAP. The goal of this step is to encourage the facilitators to identify and develop solutions to the personal challenges they may have with the content, methodology or emotionality of CHAP. Step three provides a short practice time for each facilitator (class size permitting) to prepare, deliver and receive feedback on a segment of CHAP. Step four: Through the use of role-plays and case studies the Human Rights Advisors apply their knowledge of CATO 13-24 to decide on the course of action to follow to report/investigate/ resolve specific harassment and abuse incidents. Cass Size The optimum number of participants attending this two-day workshop is 15. The maximum number of participants should not exceed 20. Restricting class size to fifteen will allow each facilitator a 15 minute practice and feedback session using CHAP materials on Day Two. Increasing the number of partic pants per class will reduce or eliminate practice time and impact negatively on the quality of the delivery of the CHAP program to cadets, Sessions ‘8.2006.00440--0003
