Just for the children Childrens Resource Library Children's Worker Resources Safe and Secure Practice Guide
The Eastern Metropolitan Regional Family Violence Partnership (EMR RFVP) identified, commissioned and funded the development of a trauma informed practice guide for understanding and responding to children and young people affected by family violence.
The Guide is the culmination of more than six years of work led by the EMR RFVP to focus on the impacts of family violence on children. Partnership member, the Australian Childhood Foundation was commissioned to produce the guide. The guide and training is designed for any frontline worker who comes into contact with children experiencing family violence.

Peak bodies analysis of this years State Government Budget
What are the peak bodies saying. We hear from CHP, CHFV and VCOSS
Council to Homeless Persons (CHP)
The Council to Homeless persons has congratulated the Victorian Government on the significant investments in housing, homelessness and family violence announced in this year's State Budget. While many of the commitments outlined in the Budget had been announced previously, they are worth recognising a second time; in particular, the Government’s major housing centrepiece Homes for Victorians, which includes $1 billion commitment to a Social Housing Growth fund. The other big news in this year's budget was the $1.9 billion investment in family violence services. Given the insidious relationship between homelessness and family violence, this commitment is highly commended.
