Prevention of Violence Against Women in Health settings - Metro

Learn what drives family violence and the actions you can take to promote gender equality and respect in your hospital/health service.

This is a one-day course for anyone leading gender equality and family violence primary prevention initiatives in a Victorian health service.

What will you learn about?

• The link between gender inequality and violence against women

• Taking an intersectional approach to primary prevention initiatives

• Good-practice examples of primary prevention initiatives in health settings

• Workplace actions required to prevent violence against women (Workplace Equality and Respect, http://workplace.ourwatch.org.au)

This training is open for both metro and rural/regional hospitals.

Who is this for?

The training is for SHRFV practitioners as well as for HR/strategy people within the hospital. Please note that the training covers the gendered drivers as it is designed to provide primary prevention information to a range of people within health services and not all participants will bring an in-depth knowledge of Change the Story. The training also covers intersectionality and what workplaces can do to prevent violence, but does not provide a detailed ‘how to do’ Workplace Equality and Respect, rather  it covers ‘what is’ Workplace Equality and Respect.
