Towards Collaboration - A resource guide for Child Protection and family violence services
There is an emerging body of national and international research that highlights family violence as a major risk factor for children. The Child Protection and Family Violence service sectors are looking for ways to share and draw upon their considerable practice wisdom to improve their work with, and outcomes for, children and their families experiencing family violence.
Towards Collaboration - A resource guide for Child Protection and family violence services will provide support and information for, and enhance, cross-sector collaboration. The development of the Guide represents an important collaboration between Community Care Division (Child Protection and Family Violence Prevention and Support) and the Office of Housing (Community Programs Group). The Resource Guide will provide a strong basis for regional development or reviewing of protocols between local services. Most importantly, it will lead to improved outcomes for those children and their families who have experienced family violence.
