PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION 
Purpose:

Corrections Officials are responsible for the care, custody and control of individuals who have been arrested and are awaiting trial or have been convicted of a crime and sentenced, both inside and outside the Corrections Centre. They are also responsible for the safety and security of the Corrections Centre. The competencies captured in this Qualification will ensure that the Corrections Officials are able to fulfil these responsibilities by providing them with skills to apply offender rehabilitation and rights, supervising offenders/inmates, use corrections equipment such as restraints, conduct searches and respond tactically to incidents while applying humane means.

This qualification will provide the qualifying learners with the required knowledge and skills to perform those duties in a South African Corrections Centre in compliance with the Correctional Services Act.

The qualifying learner will be capable of:
  • Performing correctional related services in order to contribute to a secure environment for the rehabilitation of offenders.
  • Providing corrections, care and developmental services for rehabilitation of offenders/inmates.
  • Complying with governance requirements in the provision of security and corrections services for the rehabilitation of offenders/inmates.

    Rationale:

    The focus of the Correctional Services service has moved from punitive action to offender rehabilitation and humane treatment, and is characterised by growth in Community Corrections and the implementation of unit management principles in Corrections Centres. With this in mind this Qualification meets the needs of the Correctional Services Sector by providing training standards against which entry level Correctional Officials can be trained. This Qualification meets the needs of society by providing competent Corrections Officials who by securely supervising the day-to-day activities of offenders, contribute to a safe society for the citizens of South Africa.

    This Qualification has been purpose-built for the Safety in Society sub-field, the Corrections Service Sector and Corrections Officials in their capacity as wardens. Further this Qualification contributes to an integrated National Qualifications Framework, provides for access, mobility and progression within the Correctional Services career path, enhances the quality of training within the Corrections Service, allows for the redress of the past and contributes to the development of the learner as a Correctional Officials within the Correctional Services.

    Learners typically completing this Qualification would be young adult school/university leavers who would attend the learning program based on this Qualification at one of the various training providers situated throughout the country. This qualification is the first in the progressive development of Corrections Officials in Correctional Services. This Qualification will allow learners access to the National Diploma in Corrections Science, NQF Level 5 and further provider based Qualifications at NQF Level 6 and 7.

    Integrated Assessment:

    Because assessment practices must be open, transparent, fair, valid, and reliable and ensure that no learner is disadvantaged in any way whatsoever, an integrated assessment approach is incorporated into the Qualification. Learning, teaching and assessment are inextricably linked. Whenever possible, the assessment of knowledge, skills, attitudes and values shown in the unit standards should be integrated.

    Assessment of the communication, language, literacy and numeracy should be conducted in conjunction with other aspects and should use authentic Correctional Services sector contexts wherever possible.

    A variety of methods must be used in assessment and tools and activities must be appropriate to the context in which the learner is working. Where it is not possible to assess the learner in the workplace or on-the-job, simulations, case studies, role-plays and other similar techniques should be used to provide a context appropriate to the assessment.

    The term 'Integrated Assessment' implies that theoretical and practical components should be assessed together. During integrated assessments the assessor should make use of formative and summative assessment methods and assess combinations of practical, applied, foundational and reflective competencies.

    Assessors and moderators should make use of a range of formative and summative assessment methods. Assessors should assess and give credit for the evidence of learning that has already been acquired through formal, informal and non-formal learning and work experience.

    Assessment should ensure that all Specific Outcomes, Essential Embedded Knowledge and Critical Cross-Field Outcomes are assessed. The assessment of the Critical Cross-Field Outcomes should be integrated with the assessment of Specific Outcomes and Essential Embedded Knowledge. 

    INTERNATIONAL COMPARABILITY 
    The approach to training and development of Corrections Officers varies across countries depending on the legislative powers of the Ministry of Justice and the prevalent socio-economic conditions. A wide spectrum of approaches are employed ranging from punitive to rehabilitative.

    For the purpose of this comparison the following countries were chosen due to the fact that like South African they have a rehabilitative approach which is characterised by an emphasis on human rights:
  • United States of America.
  • United Kingdom.
  • Canada.
  • Australia.
  • New Zealand.

    United States of America:

    In the United States of America due to the federal system the training of Correctional Officers vary from state to state and facility to facility. Training may be provided by external agencies but more than often is provided at the facility itself.

    Generally it was found that most providers or facilities programmes are based on the following areas of learning:
  • Use of force and restraints.
  • Self defence.
  • Receiving, booking and releasing inmates.
  • Report writing and record keeping.
  • Escorting and transporting.
  • Search and security.
  • Verbal communication and testimony.
  • Managing inmate hygiene, mail and commissary.
  • Monitoring medical and psychological services.
  • Handle emergencies.
  • Diffusion of hostility.
  • State/Criminal law.

    Findings:

    The depth of theoretical and practical training described in the FETC: Corrections Services exceeds the offerings in the USA. The focus here is only on the core competencies for entry level corrections officers who are closely supervised while the FETC: Corrections Services is designed to develop the whole individual to function independently in the corrections environment. In terms of the areas of learning, there are many similarities:
  • Both the "Use of force and restraints" and "Self defence" is dealt with in the unit standards for internal and external security duties.
  • "Report writing" is covered by the Unit Standard "Write security report and take statements" at NQF Level 4.
  • "Diffusion of security" is dealt with in the Unit Standard "Identify, handle and defuse security related conflict" at NQF Level 4.
  • "State/Criminal law" is contained in the three unit standards covering the relevant legislation on the SA Constitution, Human rights and the Correctional Services Act.
  • "Escorting and transporting" relates to the specific outcome, "Perform escort duties", of the Unit Standard "Conduct external security duties" at NQF Level 4. Searching is also part of this unit standard.
  • "Verbal communication" relates directly to the communication unit standards that form the Fundamental Component of the qualification.
  • Hygiene, medical and psychological services relate directly to the Unit Standard "Promote development and well being of inmates" at NQF Level 4.

    United Kingdom:

    Prison Officers of the United Kingdom are required to complete an eight week introductory training course to begin a career as a prison officer called Prison Officer Entry Level Training. On graduation from Prison Officer Entry Level Training all wardens are required to successfully complete the Level 3 NVQ in Custodial Care, the aim of which is to provide an occupationally-related qualification for people employed in custodial environments with direct contact with prisoners. This qualification allows candidates to develop the competence, knowledge and understanding to perform their jobs effectively, and to enhance their career prospects.

    Candidates must complete the five mandatory units in Group 1, plus five optional units from Group 2 (total ten units).

    The following 5 mandatory units relate, at least in part, compare closely with Core Component Unit Standards in the FETC: Corrections Services in terms of human rights, internal security, external security and wellness:
  • D/103/9138: Promote equality and value diversity.
  • Y/103/9719: Maintain and develop your own knowledge, skills and competence.
  • U1054020: Maintain Security and Order in the Custodial Environment.
  • U1050647: Ensure Your Own Actions Reduce Risks to Health and Safety.
  • J/103/9750: Contribute to the prevention and management of inappropriate behaviour.

    Of the 43 available optional units, the following reflect some similarities with the South African unit standards:
  • D/103/9737: Communicate effectively with people.
  • U1054004: Maintain restrictions on individual's liberty whilst promoting and protecting their rights.
  • U1054007: Maintain security at entry and exit points.
  • U1054021: Receive and discharge individuals and property into and out of the custodial environment.
  • U1054022: Search individuals, accommodation and areas.
  • U1054023: Search vehicles.
  • U1054024: Contribute to the control of incidents and emergencies.
  • U1054025: Control and restrain individuals.
  • U1054027: Maintain security whilst escorting individuals to courts and other environments.
  • U1054029: Contribute to planning how to meet individual's needs and rights in the custodial environment.
  • U1054030: Encourage individuals to look after their own health and hygiene.
  • U1054031: Support individuals in custody to take part in purposeful activities.
  • U1054033: Prepare individuals for resettlement in the community.

    Findings:

    The duration, level of complexity and content of the combined Prison Officer Entry Level Training and the NVQ in Custodial Care is similar to the FETC: Corrections Services. Also, the Unit Standard "Understand the Corrections environment" at NQF Level 4 was generated with a view to providing an introduction to a new recruit, much like the formal induction that forms part of the POELT.

    Australia:

    The Victoria Department of Justice provides newly recruited Prison Officers with almost two months of pre-service training that includes time in the classroom and two weeks on-the-job in one of Corrections Victoria's prisons. This is followed by a period of close supervision combined with further self-paced, competency-based learning and on-the-job training to enable new officers to build on their skills in a graduated way. Typically, as new officers acquire more complex skills and training, they are given more challenging work roles.

    A wide variety of topics are covered in the training. These include:
  • Crime scene preservation.
  • Hostage awareness: Trainees will be directed on how to respond to a hostage situation.
  • Movement control and escorts: Training in safe and secure methods for transporting prisoners.
  • Conducting searches.
  • Writing reports for Corrections Victoria: This includes identifying the different types of reports to be prepared.
  • Preventing suicide and self harm.
  • Infection control: This includes raising awareness of common diseases and the process for cleaning bodily fluid spills.
  • Security awareness: Includes the identification of posts within the prisons.
  • Conflict management.
  • Defensive tactics and tactical options.
  • Prisoner rights and privileges: Understanding prisoner rights and privileges, plus prisoner requests and complaints procedures.
  • Prison visits program: Explains the types of visits prisoners are allowed, and explains the procedures to ensure security is maintained during visits.
  • Occupational health and safety, first aid, fire awareness.
  • Victorian Public Service and Corrections Victoria Code of Conduct.

    Findings:

    While many of the learning areas comprising this Certificate III in Correctional Practice are similar to the units of learning in the FETC: Corrections Services. However, the FETC: Corrections Services does not cover crime scene preservation, hostage awareness, conflict management, defensive tactics and tactical options.

    Canada:

    The Holland College, Prince Edward Island, Canada offers a Certificate for 36 weeks, including 9 weeks on-the-job training to train newly recruited Correctional Officers. The Correctional Officer program instils the knowledge and skills needed for a career in federal and provincial correctional services.

    Findings:

    The qualification comprises the following areas of competency that are similar to competencies captured in the FETC: Corrections Services:
  • Communicate effectively using a variety of techniques and different mediums of expression in a wide variety of settings.
  • Maintain a safe and secure environment by the use of security practices, verbal interventions, control tactics and the use of various types of security equipment and safe handling and use of weapons.
  • Practice techniques which prevent emergency situations from occurring.
  • Respond to emergency situations such as inmate assaults, medical situations, self-mutilating behaviours, fire-setting behaviour, threats and intimidation and hostage taking situations.
  • Understand the long-term impact of stress on staff and inmates and the means available to facilitate coping.
  • Identify, select and operate tools and equipment for normal institutional operations.
  • Familiarization with the case management and offender program process.
  • Examine the role of an entry level Corrections Officer in the case management process and in program participation feedback.

    New Zealand:

    New Zealand has registered on the NZQF a National Certificate in Offender Management, Level 3. The purpose of the qualification indicates this similarity; "for those working or seeking to work as a corrections officer, whose role it is to provide safe, secure and humane containment of prisoners whilst working towards reducing re-offending." Further the Qualification states that the "award of the certificate signifies competence at the first level of Offender Management".

    The unit standards related to the professional skills includes:
  • Manage workplace hazards in a prison.
  • Implement staff, visitor and prisoner safety in a prison.
  • Manage personal safety in a prison.
  • Apply safe and secure lock and unlock practices in a prison.
  • Maintain security of physical containment environment in a prison.
  • Conduct security searches in a prison.
  • Manage workplace equipment in a prison.
  • Establish and maintain effective working relationships in a prison environment.
  • Utilise control and restraint methods in a prison.
  • Escort prisoners.
  • Conduct musters and report, record and observe prisoner activity and behaviour in a prison.
  • Manage prisoner activity.
  • Meet immediate and/or basic needs of prisoners.
  • Model and reinforce positive behaviour in a prison.
  • Demonstrate knowledge of prison legislation, policy and procedures.
  • Manage prisoner work parties.
  • Demonstrate understanding of the sentence planning and management process.
  • Manage prisoner sentence plans.

    Findings:

    There very close similarities between the New Zealand qualification and FETC: Corrections Services. The similarities between the unit standards of both qualifications are not apparent from the titles, but the similarities become apparent when the specific outcomes and the assessment criteria of the FETC: Corrections Services' unit standards are analysed.

    Conclusion:

    It has been found that the FETC: Corrections Services compares very favourably with established world Correctional Services and that training content and approaches are very similar, if not identical.
