Course Overview
Domestic and family violence is a complex and difficult issue and appears almost weekly in the news. It is important that community housing staff, particularly front-line staff can understand the issues and behaviours indicative of domestic and family violence. This session will discuss the myths and realities of domestic and family violence and explore strategies of reducing risk and increasing safety. Working with perpetrators is included as part of the session as many staff will work with perpetrators of domestic and family violence. It will outline support services for referral, and the policies that characterise organisational best practice.
