This introductory training prepares you to respond appropriately and safely to people experiencing family violence. This session will expand your awareness into an understanding of the impact family violence has on adults and children and build your knowledge of the complexity of family violence and the effect on a person’s dignity and wellbeing. Learn and practice the Recognise/Respond/Refer model with scenarios. Social entrapment, coercive control and resistance are explored interactively.
This one-day training is an opportunity to explore the impact of family violence on children. This is a practical and interactive day which will help develop skills in safe, effective responses. The day will be facilitated by Shine RESPOND trainers alongside specialist guest speakers. The training builds understanding of how children experience family violence, coercive control and entrapment drawing on emerging research and practice in this field, alongside a child rights perspective under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. The training deepens understanding of social entrapment, looking at social and systemic inequities and at children’s experience of the Family Court in the context of family violence. The training includes recognising and honouring children’s resistance, the importance of language, and responding to children experiencing violence to promote safety and wellbeing.
