Description
The PUA41119 Certificate IV in Public Safety (Community Safety) is designed for emergency service and public safety personnel who develop, implement and deliver community safety programs. Community safety programs seek to build and enhance community resilience, health and wellbeing as it relates to feeling protected from threats, harm, risks or injury.
The role of community safety personnel is to build community safety partnerships, improve individual and community resilience, actively partner and listen to communities, understand community needs and deliver outcomes for at risk communities. This may include implementing community safety advertising, creating awareness campaigns and developing relationships with a diverse range of community members.
This qualification includes the units of competency required by community safety personnel to perform a range of activities such as delivering programs and campaigns that improve community resilience whilst engaging with a broad range of community members and working closely with local governments. It typically involves discretion in the development and delivery of community safety programs.
