As a frontline worker, you are in a unique position to help the 1 in 4 women in Australia who have experienced physical or sexual violence by an intimate partner.
You could even be the first person to recognise that a woman may be in need of support. By responding the right way, you can play an important role in increasing her safety.
In partnership with experts, 1800RESPECT has created the Frontline Workers Toolkit. It's full of good practice information and resources, videos, webinars and apps to help you connect women to specialist services and offer knowledge-based support.
This innovative digital toolkit can be easily tailored to you or your individual learning and development needs and will be regularly updated by 1800RESPECT as new resources are released.
Are you ready to stand together and take action? Access your toolkit, share your knowledge with staff and colleagues and help educate frontline workers around the country. Your knowledge could be the difference.
If you'd like to show your support and take a stand with us, a range of materials to share on your own channels is available here.
Beyond 18: The Longitudinal Study on Leaving Care is a long-term research project about the lives of young people in out-of-home care and their experiences of leaving care in Victoria. It is the first of its kind to be conducted in Victoria.
The purpose of the study is to inform government policy in supporting more effective transitions for young people from out-of-home care. In particular, it will aim to improve young people’s move towards interdependent relationships and eventual independence by:
Providing insights into the critical success factors associated with transition from out-of-home care
Proposing ways of enhancing out-of-home care
Proposing improvements in the transition from care
Proposing improvements post transition from care
