This advanced TVIC workshop series builds on foundational understandings of TVIC practice and supports practitioners, leaders, and sector partners to deepen their skills across three interconnected areas: structural and systemic violence, accountability with people who use violence, and TVIC‑aligned leadership. Each session offers evidence‑informed frameworks, reflective practice, and practical tools applicable for domestic and family violence contexts.
Part 1: This session strengthens practitioners’ capacity to recognise and respond to the broader conditions that shape victim‑survivors’ choices, risks, and opportunities. It explores how structural and systemic violence such as racism, poverty, colonisation, ableism, and institutional harm intersect with interpersonal violence and influence safety planning, decision‑making, and service access.
Part 2: This session focuses on strengthening accountability work with people who use violence while maintaining clear boundaries and a dignity‑centred approach. We examine how trauma histories, shame, defensiveness, and structural disadvantage can shape behaviour without excusing harm.
Part 3: This session is designed for leaders, supervisors, coordinators, and emerging leaders who want to embed TVIC across teams and organisational systems. We explore how formal and informal leadership practices shape safety, culture, and practitioner wellbeing.
This workshop series will offer:
A deeper understanding of how structural and systemic violence shapes risk, choice, safety, and service access.
Explore ways for recognising contexts of constraint and supporting victim‑survivor agency.
Strategies for integrating system advocacy into everyday practice and strengthening culturally responsive, intersectional approaches.
Practical tools for holding dignity‑centred, accountability conversations with people who use violence.
Methods for integrating trauma histories into perpetrator work without excusing or minimising harm.
Leadership skills for embedding TVIC across teams, programs, and organisational systems.
Strategies for aligning policies, supervision, and everyday decision‑making with TVIC principles.
