Specialist family services workers have complex and significant workloads to service demand and may experience stressors through their service delivery. We recognise and strongly support that workforce wellbeing is an organisational responsibility.
There are several initiatives currently underway that seek to support the specialist family violence services to promote and protect the health, safety and wellbeing of their staff.
Resources:
Family Safety Victoria published an online Family Violence Health, Safety and Wellbeing Guide with links to Safe and Equal’s Self-assessment Handbook and Tool
Both Safe and Equal’s Health, Safety and Wellbeing handbook and self-assessment tool is a benchmarking resource, that guides service providers through a self-audit activity in order to determine their start point and create an action plan for improvement across the whole organisation.
