Risk assessment is a core component of domestic and family violence work. It requires us as workers to understand the social factors that entrap and limit the choices and freedom for victims-survivors.
We want to create an opportunity to collectively explore how we hold and respond to risk emotionally and ethically, as teams and organisations, as partnerships and across systems.
In this workshop series, we will explore:
How we make sense of overarching frameworks of coercive control and social entrapment.
Integrating a survivor-centred approach in work with victims-survivors and perpetrators, and practices that respond to everyone with dignity and respect.
Practice possibilities for building safety through nuanced risk analysis and safety actions to counter threat.
Collaborative decision-making and developing interventions to interrupt entrapment.
Documentation to build evidence that exposes patterns of control and entrapment.
