The Residential Care Learning and Development Strategy (RCLDS)

The Residential Care Learning and Development Strategy (RCLDS) was developed in 2001 in recognition of the link between staff competency and client outcomes. The RCLDS Reference Group consists of Community Service Organisations (CSO’s) representatives, Department of Human Services (DHHS) and the Centre for Excellence in Child and Family Welfare (the Centre).

Aim: “The development of a competent and appropriately trained residential care workforce that is supported to provide a high standard of care and to improve outcomes and life opportunities for children and young people in out-of-home care.”

RCLDS is a strategy and while training is a key component, it also includes other support mechanisms to assist in the development of the residential care workforce (i.e. conferences, seminars, scholarships, etc).

RCLDS Goals:

• The ongoing development of a skilled and stable workforce.

• Provision of high quality training, supervision and support to workers.

• Development of appropriate pre-service and in-service qualifications relevant to the field.

• Commitment to and development of a lifelong learning culture in the workplace.

Resi ROCKS

The highly successful “Resi Rocks” (Recognising Our Carers Knowledge and Skills) is the only residential worker forum that brings together residential workers across the state. In 2014 we had such a high interest we oversubscribed, with 400 staff registered to attend.

Resi Rocks aims to:

• Provide an opportunity for residential workers to get together to learn, reflect, look back and look forward.

• Acknowledge the importance of residential care work and residential care workers.

• Acknowledge the practice excellence of residential care workers and their managers.

• Promote a sense of a professional workforce and the important role of residential workers as part of the professional care team.

• Celebrate and have fun.

To be eligible for RCLDS training and event staff must be employed by a Community Service Organisation funded by DHS Out of Home Care, to provide youth residential care services in Victoria.
