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 attend?

Susan Heward-Belle is a Professor of Social Work in the Social Work and Policy Studies Program at the University of Sydney. Her teaching and sustained program of original research focuses on driving change to create socially just, gender-transformative responses to prevent and address domestic and family violence. Her cutting-edge research particularly with men who perpetrate violence against women and children aims to counter dominant paradigms that offer gender biases institutional responses. She contributes to knowledge which informs public policy and professional practices through participatory action research that promotes dignity-based principles and responses.
