Building communities that keep children safe from domestic and family violence

Building communities that keep children safe from domestic and family violence

Every child, in every community, needs a safe home.

Yet we know that far too many children are living with violence every day. We see domestic violence as a factor in the majority of substantiated child abuse cases in Australia.

This webinar will explore a vision for safer communities where children and young people are at the centre of our conversations and actions as we address domestic and family violence.

Join us for a conversation including:

• What children and young people are telling us about their experiences of domestic and family violence
• How those of us working with children can be more aware of domestic and family violence
• And how those of us working with domestic and family violence victim-survivors can be more child aware
• The need to support children and young people as victim-survivors in their own right
• How factors including sexuality, gender, culture and disability can impact where there’s violence happening at home
• What we can do to make it better for the next generation

Speakers:
Anne Hollonds, National Children’s Commissioner
Jodie Griffiths-Cook, ACT Public Advocate and Children and Young People Commissioner
Moo Baulch, Director of Primary Prevention at Women’s and Girls’ Emergency Centre (WAGEC)
