The first nationally representative study of child maltreatment found that nearly 40% of Australians aged 16-65+ years experienced exposure to domestic violence (Mathews et al, 2023). The justice system together with behaviour change programs are key pathways for people who use domestic violence, and therefore are critical access points for intervention. However, most people who use domestic violence never access a behaviour change program. Yet, most do come into contact with a range of practitioners, including social workers, who may or may not recognize their use of violence and coercive control.
What would it look like if all services operated as part of a coordinated intervention system, working together to prevent and respond to domestic violence? What impact would it have on survivors’ safety, dignity and wellbeing if practitioners worked to disrupt domestic violence within strong multiagency webs of accountability?
Drawing on a reflective practice tool developed with practitioners involved in a participatory action research project, called Safer Children, Safer Communities, this webinar aims to increase the safety and liberty of survivors and to increase the visibility and accountability of people who use domestic violence.
Who should register? This webinar is suitable for all social workers who are keen to discuss innovative approaches and deepen their knowledge of domestic and family violence.
