Protect, Share, Support: Understanding Family Violence in Disability Service | CFECCW

This workshop is designed for workers in disability support services that are not formally part of Victoria’s MARAM family violence prevention framework. It shares the best practices from Victoria’s framework as they apply to context of working with people with disability, including guidance around information sharing and privacy for organisations that are not part of Victoria’s family violence information sharing framework.

It draws on the best practices and latest knowledge about family violence, as reflected in Victoria’s Multi-Agency Risk Assessment and Management (MARAM) framework. Topics covered:

• What is family violence? How our understanding of the spectrum of family violence has evolved over time.
• Understand the nature of coercive control and cumulative harm, particularly as it may occur for people with disability.
• Using a disability and trauma-informed lens, we examine best practices for responding safely and respectfully to disclosures.
• We share guidance for sharing information and seeking consultation from services that can support people experiencing family violence.
• We share best practices for documenting and handling client concerns.
