Child Protection Intervention in the Context of Domestic Violence

This workshop will present a practical framework for child protection intervention with families experiencing both domestic violence and child abuse.

The application of the Power and Responsibility Graph to case studies will assist workers with risk assessment, case management, counselling, group work and review or evaluation of clients’ changes and developments.

The workshop will assist workers to:

• Understand the impact of domestic violence on the lives and relationships of children and their families
• Recognise how the perpetrator’s intentions and actions shape women’s and children’s thoughts, feelings and beliefs about themselves and each other
• Develop gender sensitive case work strategies to redress the imbalance in power and responsibility and achieve more effective outcomes for women and children.

The workshop will feature ‘live’ appearances of The Yarramundi Kids puppets. The video resource kits CHANGE COULD COME and CREATING THE FUTURE are used to portray the impact of domestic violence on family dynamics and children’s beliefs about gender, power and responsibility.

The workshop can be presented over one day or two days.
