Para Professionals in the Social Service Workforce

This group has completed its workplan.

This Interest Group explored and consolidated perspectives and key considerations concerning the role of this category of workers. For more information, see a description of this group here.

Interest Group members produced Para Professionals in the Social Service Workforce: Guiding Principles, Functions and Competencies.  This document includes guiding principles for developing programs and activities related to how para professionals can be trained, developed, deployed and supported, and a competency framework to provide program guidance, accountability and ultimately inform both training and supervision. The first edition was released in September 2015 and second edition in 2017.
