Framing the Future the second three-year rolling action plan under Building from strength: 10-Year Industry Plan for Family Violence Prevention and Response is now available online.
Framing the Future will continue to develop the specialisation of the family violence, primary prevention and sexual assault workforces through providing clearer education and training pathways, improving support for early career workers, creating more varied specialisation pathways as workers progress in their careers and improving options for experienced practitioners to move between service types.
The plan reflects strong collaboration with family violence and sexual assault peak bodies and employers as well as opportunities to connect shared workforce development opportunities and challenges across community services – this includes children and families, disability and housing and homelessness.
It addresses critical vacancies and building better career pathways, with a focus on retaining the workforce.
Best practice supervision guidelines are now available for the family violence, sexual assault and child wellbeing workforces. Developed in partnership with the sector, the Guidelines provide best practice approaches and recommended standards that can be used for all types of supervision, staff induction, training and policy development.
