Responding to Family Violence Training - FOR FAITH LEADERS

This MARAM Collaborative Practice training has been adapted to provide information and support to Faith Leaders and people working in faith based institutions when responding to disclosures of family violence.

MARAM is the Multi Agency Risk Assessment & Management Framework which was introduced after the Royal Commission into Family Violence in Victoria in 2016.

The MARAM Framework sets out the responsibilities of different workforces in identifying, assessing and managing family violence risk across the family violence and broader service system. The Framework is also acknowledged as a best practice approach to responding to family violence across all areas of our communities when family violence is disclosed or identified.

This a one day training. At the completion of this training you will be sent an evaluation form to complete and you will receive a certificate of completion.

Please note this training has been adapted to be Gippsland specific in the referral pathway discussions.

Pre-reading, zoom links and other resources will be emailed prior to the training for you to read or download prior to training. Hard copies of some of the information will also be provided.
