CHAPTER 1 Syndicates, Inspectorate of Schools and three teachers from ATHAM schools. Several recommendations to improve the draft were given by the participants during the discussion. The draft would be printed in booklet form with other information on ATHAM and would be distributed to all ATHAM schools in 2021. 2. DEVELOPMENT OF HUMAN RIGHTS TRAINING MODULES As a step toward institutionalising and improving the human rights training in government agencies, SUHAKAM has taken the initiative to develop human rights training modules to be utilised by the specific agencies in their internal training. SUHAKAM undertook drafting of training modules for the Prisons Department, Royal Malaysia Police and Teachers’ Education Institute. a) Human Rights and Detention: Human Rights Training Module for Prisons Department of Malaysia SUHAKAM and the Prisons Department organised several joint-programmes to increase the understanding of prison officials on human rights. This year SUHAKAM started to develop a training manual to assist the prison trainers to conduct training on ‘Human Rights and Detention’ as part of the Prisons’ internal training. The outline of the training manual that was being developed is as follows : Module 1: Module 2: Module 3: Module 4: Module 5: Introduction to SUHAKAM and Malaysian Prisons Department Knowing the Rights and Challenges of Prison officials Human Rights and Prison Between Human Rights and Use of Force Thematic Issues on Human Rights related to Prison and Detention SUHAKAM would involve the Prisons Department in finalising the module next year. It is our hope that with the publication of the manual next year, it would further improve the training quality of the Prisons Department, in particular the training on human rights principles and rules in prison work. b) Human Rights Module for the Police In the past, SUHAKAM had conducted training of trainers (TOT) for the police and as a result of a series of sessions, the Police has internalised the human rights training as a compulsory component in the police basic training.
