2010 SAFE-T1 SMALL GRANTS for ...
Student developed workplace health
and safety resources
Are your students ‘doing’ OHS? Have they come up with some great ideas or produced some resources on workplace health and safety? Perhaps you expect they will come up with some great resources?
Do they need a little help to finish their resource / product – some additional expertise, software or materials??
VALA, as part of the SAFE-T1 project, is offering small grants (approx $500) to assist students (15 – 24 years) to take their ideas / resources to the next level.
Who can apply?
While individuals may apply for the grants, preference will be given to groups of students (5 or more) who are between 15 and 24 years of age.
Applications will only be accepted from students attending a secondary school or other post compulsory education provider in Victoria.
The applications must have the support of the school or education provider. Funding will be provided to the school/education provider for the provision of expertise or materials.
How do you apply?
Students should read the Guidelines and Conditions (PDF 65KB) and then complete the attached application form.
The application form asks students to:
• specify the area of workplace health and safety their resource / product will target
• describe what it is expected the final product will be like
• specify what the money is to be used for
• include a budget showing how the money will be used.
A limited amount of money has been allocated for the SAFE-T1 2010 Small Grants. Applications will be assessed (see the Guidelines and Conditions for criteria, etc) as they are received and the money will be available only until it has been used – so get in quickly. Applications will be accepted from the beginning of the 2010 school year until Friday 25th June 2010 unless the money set aside for the 2010 Small Grants is expended earlier.
What do students have to do?
• Work together to produce a resource / product that addresses some aspect of workplace health and safety.
• Allow the final product to be made available on the SAFE-T1 website
• Complete their product by the end of 2010.
Links to VCAL and VELS
By applying for the funding, students are likely to cover learning outcomes in Reading and Writing, Numeracy and Personal Development Skills units of VCAL.
The development of the workplace health and safety products / resources can be
• used to meet VCAL learning outcomes, particularly those from Work Related Skills and Personal Development Skills strands
• mapped to the Strands and Domains of VELS, particularly Interpersonal Development in the Physical, Personal and Social Learning Strand.
