The sector is strongest when we learn from each other.

With the new coercive control legislation now in place, many of you are leading the way – preparing teams, navigating challenges, and raising vital questions about how this law will play out in practice.

Join us for Responding Together: A practitioner roundtable on coercive control legislation, an opportunity to connect with peers, hear from experts and share the collective wisdom we need to move forward.

WorkUP has heard from practitioners like you wanting to know:

How will the law impact individual workers?

Does the law impact our case noting processes?

How can we support workers giving evidence?

How do victim survivors feel about the law? What do we know about how they would like to see them used?

But, most of all, practitioners wanted to know what was happening in other parts of sector. You wanted to understand how our other services were responding, and what they were planning to do to support their clients and teams. That’s why we have created this opportunity for you to come together, hear from experts and colleagues, and workshop a way forward, together.

Attending Responding Together will build your confidence and comfort to navigate the new law, build and strengthen your professional networks and equip you with the resources you need.
