DIN CWA 16520 (DIN SPEC 91301):2013-04 CWA 16520:2012 (E) 6 Introduction This CEN Workshop Agreement is the result of the European Project for Guide
27、 Dog Mobility Standards (EU EGDMS, http:/www.egdms.eu/) established under the Leonardo da Vinci lifelong learning programme. European citizens are being denied the benefits of guide dog ownership as the provision of guide dogs has suffered from fragmentation of delivery, low investment in training a
28、nd poor retention of guide dog instructors. Often, the service is limited by funding which leads to inconsistent criteria resulting in poorly trained and inadequate dogs. The European project aimed to address this situation by developing and disseminating a qualifying programme of training for instr
29、uctors which addressed the welfare and training of the guide dog as well as the instruction of the client in its safe and effective use as an aid to independent mobility. The project brought together a group of partner guide dog schools to develop an agreed set of competencies for guide dog mobility
30、 instructors (GDMI) and the CEN Workshop 65 allowed the involvement of a much wider group of stakeholders to enable more contributions to be realised. The methodological approach is based on a modularised learning system largely delivered in the work place of the employing guide dog organisation and
31、/or its professional partners. The content will be employer specific and a range of methodologies will be available to suit need and circumstance. Methodologies can include didactic, e-learning and blended learning approaches. For example, some didactic learning of the practical application of disab
32、ility theories to client training will be necessary, while a framework will be provided for role play exercises to assist in the practice and development of coaching skills. At the same time, trainees will also be required to undertake their own research using the Internet. Trainees will be required
33、 to keep reflective portfolios of evidence to demonstrate that they have completed the required learning. Some modules will involve role play exercises and trainees will be guided in their learning through directed reading and exercises to be undertaken in the workplace. Guidance will be given on ro
34、le-play exercises that can be undertaken to increase the students understanding and empathy with peers, volunteers and clients, particularly those experiencing loss of sight. Every opportunity to involve blind and partially sighted people in these role play exercises should be taken. Discussion amon
35、g peers and with experienced mentors will be used to exchange knowledge and experience from the field. Trainees will be guided via didactic learning in their reading and understanding of factual information and key concepts. This approach is adopted to increase the confidence of the student in effec
36、tively communicating material to others in addition to delivering, receiving and responding to feedback in a professional and positive manner. As the IGDF standards have a proven value over many years, they have provided valuable direction to the development of this document. DIN CWA 16520 (DIN SPEC
37、 91301):2013-04 CWA 16520:2012 (E) 7 1 Scope This document provides the reference criteria of essential competences for guide dog mobility instructors in the following general and specific areas: professional behaviour and professional ethics; interpersonal management and communication competences;
38、appreciation of the various forms of visual impairment and their impact on humans; methods of orientation and mobility; appreciation of the needs of clients with additional requirements; dog care and welfare assessment; general dog management and training; guide dog training; client and partnership
39、training and after care. 2 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 2.1 competence proven ability to use knowledge, skills and personal, social and /or methodological abilities, in work or study situations and in professional and personal de

45、late to the role of the guide dog mobility instructor only. That is to say, the roles of early dog training and puppy walking are not covered in this agreement. These roles could, in future, become the focus of other Workshop Agreements. Furthermore, the document assumes that candidates selected for
46、 training as guide dog mobility instructors are able to demonstrate competence in empathy and effective general handling of dogs. Trainee guide dog mobility instructors can demonstrate their competence in a number of ways. These include practical activities, written activities, theory-based exercise
47、s, role play and case work. The precise balance of these activities is left to the discretion of each individual training programme. In determining this balance, careful consideration must be given to developing reflective practice, problem solving and creative thinking in guide dog mobility instruc
48、tors. 4 General professional behaviour and ethics of a guide dog mobility instructor A GDMI should act in compliance with all relevant national, regional or local regulations and workplace codes of conduct. A GDMI should demonstrate awareness of the principles of the autonomy of the individual, resp
49、ect, wellbeing and justice in the treatment of other human beings and dogs in his/her day-to-day work activity. A GDMI should recognize his/her own professional limitations and refer to a relevant specialist as appropriate e.g. a veterinary, medical/health or legal professional. DIN CWA 16520 (DIN SPEC 91301):2013-04 CWA 16520:2012 (E) 9 A GDMI should ensure that he/she maintains and develops his/her competence as a GDMI throughout his/her working career, including his/her knowledge of the
