    Event description

    Given the prevalence of domestic and family violence across Australia, the need for contemporary foundational training to support workers is essential.  

    This workshop will provide introductory and foundational level of information of how to recognise and respond to DFV sensitively and appropriately. Completing the workshop will also build your understanding and acknowledgement of:   

    • Gender inequality and its relationship to DFV   
    • Work practices that consider trauma-informed principles   
    • The impacts of health and wellbeing for DFV victims/survivors   
    • Intersectionality, victim/survivor experiences and sensitivity in responding to DFV   
    • Prioritisation of physical, cultural, and emotional safety   
    • Workplace limitations, worker boundaries and WHS   
    • The new Domestic and family violence services Practice principles, standards, and guidance   

    Feedback from previous DFV Foundations   

    • "Thank you for putting on such an informative and interesting training session. I really enjoyed it and will be recommending it to others." 
    • "As someone who has just started learning about gendered violence, I found many aspects of the seminars have had a significant impact on how I am thinking about the nature of gendered violence, how cyclical it can often be, and what this means for different and diverse communities. It has made me especially determined to explore and address these issues in rural and remote communities, communities of diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds and Indigenous communities." 

    Learning Outcomes:  

    1. Recognise the social, economic, political, and historical contexts of DFV. 
    2. Review work practices when recognising and responding to DFV. 
    3. Identify work health and safety considerations when recognising and responding to DFV. These learning outcomes are based on the principles of safety, respect, access and equity, human rights, intersectionality, social justice, empowerment, and accountability.
