Managing cases of applicants with diverse SOGIESC

DESCRIPTION

This module aims to provide learners with the necessary knowledge and skills to conduct  asylum interviews and assess evidence in cases of applicants with diverse SOGIESC, and determine if the applicant qualifies for refugee status in line with the Qualifications Regulation.   

LEARNING OUTCOMES

At the end of this module, the learner will be able to:

1. Apply advanced interviewing strategies to plan, prepare, conduct and document interviews with applicants with diverse SOGIESC

2. Evaluate evidence, interview transcripts and specific relevant Country of Origin Information against legal requirements for cases of diverse SOGIESC

3. Justify, in fact and in law, decisions on cases of applicants with diverse SOGIESC. 

    

DELIVERY METHOD

The module is delivered through a blended learning methodology (online, face-to-face and independent learning). Online learning uses learning activities that assess progress toward the learning outcomes and face-to-face sessions on managing complex cases of diverse SOGIESC that require discussions and work groups.

ASSESSMENT STRATEGY

The assessment strategy is based on a practice-oriented case study where learners apply the module’s knowledge and skills to design an interview, analyse evidence, assess credibility and risk, and draft a justified asylum decision, supported by feedback and consultation with trainers.
