This document summarizes the findings of a three-year study on alternative dispute resolution (ADR) processes in England and Wales, including solicitor negotiations, mediation, and collaborative law. The study found that while mediation is widely available and can be publicly funded, it is not appropriate or successful for all disputes. Other ADR options are not as well recognized or funded. The document recommends establishing clear, consistent professional standards for ADR practitioners and introducing a neutral system to assess which process is most suitable based on the needs and positions of the parties in a given case.
Safety planning for domestic violence situations requires a holistic approach that considers multiple risks beyond just physical safety. Traditional models focus too narrowly on leaving the relationship and physical danger from the perpetrator. A more comprehensive approach called Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) evaluates an array of financial, legal, social and other risks faced by victims in both staying with or leaving an abusive partner. It is also important for child advocates to recognize the close links between domestic violence and child abuse, and understand the complex family dynamics and constraints on victim's coping strategies when both are factors.
Managing lateral violence and its impact on the team nurses and students finalgriehl
The effects of lateral violence can be catastrophic for students in preceptored relationships. We wanted to promote healthy learning workplaces, and support teaching and learning environments for quality learning outcomes - we delivered in-services on lateral violence to increase awareness and to support positive interactions between nurses and students, while addressing negative communication behaviours and lateral violence.
Equality training, unlike awareness training, tackles the problems of inequality through revealing the language and behaviour that exposes discriminatory thinking. Oppression is explained from the perspective of marginalised groups. It provides insight into stereotypes and the resulting prejudice that diferent individuals face within our communities. Equality training promotes social justice by enabling participants to develop positive action to eliminate the barriers and resolve systemic marginalisation, by reaching shared understanding that contradicts alienation.
At the heart of all recent legislation is an imperative to tackle the inequality of opportunity in our organisations. The aim is for a more personalised and flexible service for all children. This session gives a framework for understanding key aspects of important legislation with which all organisations must comply.
This document summarizes key issues faced by GLBTQ youth and the responsibilities of school psychologists to advocate for them. It finds that GLBTQ youth experience high rates of victimization but social support can help. While diversity training programs have improved, many school psychologists do not feel prepared to advocate for GLBTQ students due to a lack of training and potential personal biases. It argues that school psychologists must examine their own beliefs and be willing to separate personal views from professional responsibilities to effectively promote acceptance for all students.
This document discusses adaptive challenges and the importance of adaptive learning skills for collective impact efforts to successfully address complex social problems. It defines adaptive challenges as problems where there are no clear solutions and learning is required. Collective impact aims to guide communities through adaptive learning processes to solve adaptive challenges. However, many collective impact efforts fail because they lack certain adaptive learning skills. The document identifies three key adaptive learning skills needed: systems thinking to identify high leverage intervention points, conversational capacity for open dialogue across boundaries, and improvisational or "yes to the mess" learning to adapt solutions along the way. Developing these skills can help communities learn faster and work together to effectively address adaptive challenges.
This presentation discusses evidence and best practices related to addressing gender-based violence. It outlines the JLI Learning Hub model and the specific JLI Gender-based Violence Learning Hub. The GBV Hub is an open knowledge sharing platform involving faith-based, academic, and secular organizations. It aims to end harmful traditional practices like FGM/C, child marriage, and honor killings. The presentation discusses partnering with faith leaders on these issues and highlights a case study of Islamic Relief Worldwide. It promotes communication through various channels and provides a GBV Hub toolkit on their website. The goal is to facilitate active learning and build bridges between sectors in addressing gender-based violence.
The document discusses various topics related to gender including definitions of gender and sex, differences between women in development and gender and development approaches, gender equality, diversity, gender-based violence, sexual harassment, and the gender situation in Bangladesh. It provides definitions of key gender-related terms and outlines responsibilities of HR managers in promoting gender equality and preventing harassment. The gender situation in Bangladesh is discussed through statistics on early marriage and strategies of the Bangladeshi government to promote gender responsiveness.

The document discusses tokenization and immersion in payments. It describes how tokenization works by storing payment details as nonces or tokens rather than raw card numbers, improving security. This allows seamless payments across different methods through a generic API. The document advocates for immersive user experiences in payments by taking inspiration from video games through seamlessness, choice of payment methods, and avoiding "checkout hell" to keep users engaged.

Family Matters: Addressing the over-representation of Aboriginal and Torres S...FRSA Communications
Family Matters aims to eliminate the over-representation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children in out-of-home care within a generation. Their vision is for Indigenous children to grow up safely in their homes, receive a good education, and be healthy and proud of their culture. Currently Indigenous children are over 9 times more likely than non-Indigenous children to be placed in out-of-home care, despite making up only 5.5% of the population. Family Matters advocates for strengths-based early intervention programs led by Indigenous communities to support families early and heal issues impacting family functioning.
The document summarizes the findings of a research project examining how an Australian health service addresses gender equality and violence against women. The project involved a staff survey, focus groups, and policy analysis. Key findings include: staff had varying understanding of gender issues and domestic violence; a family violence policy and training are needed; and engaging both women and men is important for organizational culture change. Recommendations center on developing new policies, providing employee training, and prioritizing violence against women as a health issue.
Negotiating under the shadow of domestic violence - Rachel FieldResolution Institute
There is now a greater awareness of the prevalence of family violence in family law matters generally and in FDR processes specifically. The dynamics resulting from a history of family violence can severely compromise the safety and efficacy of outcomes reached through FDR. In 2010 a model of mediation was piloted by the Federal Attorney-General's Department that was designed specifically to support the achievement of safe outcomes in matters with a history of family violence. This presentation discusses learning from that pilot and from the evaluation of the pilot.

Forced Marriage of Children/Parents with Learning Disabilities: What the Rese...BASPCAN
This document summarizes research on forced marriage of individuals with learning disabilities. The research found that the majority of cases involved individuals under age 25, and only a minority of those aged 16 or older had the capacity to consent to marriage. Motivations for forced marriage included finding a caregiver, family pressure, and beliefs that marriage could "normalize" or cure the individual. Consequences were similar to other forced marriages but individuals with disabilities faced additional risks of abandonment or inability to leave the marriage. The research calls for improved awareness, training, and coordination between agencies to better address this issue.

This study sought the views of children, young people, and families involved in the child protection system in Scotland. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 6 children, 12 parents/carers. Key findings include: initial intervention was distressing; formal meetings like case conferences were emotionally demanding; understanding of processes improved over time with worker support; interventions generally helped families despite initial confusion. The study highlights the importance of relationships with supportive workers but more research is needed to understand best practices.

Family Group Conferences: An alternative Model for Child Protection in the UKBASPCAN
Kate Parkinson presents on Family Group Conferences (FGCs) as an alternative model for child protection. FGCs originated in New Zealand in the 1980s and have since spread internationally. Research shows that FGCs lead to higher family engagement, fewer children being placed in state care, and more lasting family plans for child protection. However, some social workers resist FGCs due to fears about uncooperative families or added costs. Overall, FGCs address common failings in child protection systems by more meaningfully involving families in decisions, improving information sharing between professionals, and centering the child's needs.
1) Desistance from crime is a process, not a single event or point in time. It involves transitioning from a criminal identity and lifestyle to a non-offending identity through important life events and changes.
2) Research shows that desistance is assisted by factors like marriage, employment, disconnecting from criminal friends, and becoming a parent which provide new priorities and social bonds.
3) Effective support focuses on offenders' self-direction, active participation, positive relationships with practitioners, and helping access resources during life transitions rather than just managing risks.

The document discusses trauma informed family dispute resolution. It begins by defining trauma and outlining principles of trauma informed practice, including safety, trustworthiness, choice, collaboration and empowerment. It then discusses how trauma impacts family dispute resolution processes, noting that many family disputes involve a history of family violence. It proposes adapting the mediation model to better incorporate trauma informed practices, such as increased preparation, containment of discussions, and a focus on emotional regulation and maintaining participants' optimal state of arousal. Private sessions and structured joint sessions are also recommended to facilitate safe participation of parties who have experienced trauma.
This document summarizes research on approaches to prevent bullying. It finds that multi-disciplinary, whole-school approaches that target the entire community have been the most effective, reducing bullying by 20%. Key principles for community-led approaches include viewing bullying as a community problem, promoting positive behavior across the whole community, providing safe reporting of bullying, and involving parents and community leaders committed to change. Approaches should also address the social factors that can cause anti-social behavior.

The "Aetiology" of Physical and Sexual Abuse of Children:BASPCAN
This document summarizes a literature review on theories of the causes and conditions associated with physical and sexual abuse of children. It discusses several integrated theories for child sexual abuse and physical abuse. While these theories examine biopsychosocial factors and person-situation dynamics, they have key limitations including decentering the child, viewing children universally rather than accounting for diversity, and not fully considering structural inequalities. The review calls for integrated theories to give more attention to the complexity of abuse dynamics, intersectionality, and how cultural and institutional factors maintain victimhood. This would strengthen prevention by targeting interventions at individual, institutional, and societal levels.

This document summarizes the requirements for evidence-based programs in the Communities for Children program. It outlines that from July 2015, 30% of funding must go to programs identified by an expert panel as having evidence of effectiveness, increasing to 50% in July 2017. It describes the criteria for programs to be included in the "Guidebook" of approved evidence-based programs or assessed as "other" programs. It provides examples of recently added programs and gives guidance on assessing program adaptations and deliveries in different locations. It emphasizes building the evidence base over the next two years and offers help to organizations through an inquiry helpdesk.
Identifying and responding effectively to suspected cases of forced marriageFRSA Communications
Forced marriage is when a person enters marriage without freely consenting due to coercion, threats or deception. It violates human rights. The Australian government criminalized forcing someone into marriage in 2013 and provides support services for victims. Key indicators of potential forced marriage include sudden engagements, isolation from family and friends, and family disputes involving abuse. Victims can get assistance through support programs providing housing, counseling and legal aid or by contacting police or specialized NGOs. Referral agencies follow principles like prioritizing safety, consent and confidentiality.
The document summarizes key findings from the "Dropping off the Edge 2015" report on location-based disadvantage in Australia. It discusses how disadvantage is concentrated in specific communities and impacts families through issues like unemployment, domestic violence and low education. It also highlights the importance of social cohesion in building community resilience and dampening the effects of disadvantage. The organizations advocate for a long-term, place-based approach involving communities to address entrenched disadvantage in the most vulnerable locations.

This document discusses challenges facing adolescents and families today, including financial stress, family breakdown, substance use, and decreased time spent with children. It notes that family and school connectedness can help address issues like mental health problems and disengagement. Barriers to help seeking include stigma, confidentiality concerns, and a preference to solve problems independently. The document advocates for increased collaboration between family services and schools to engage vulnerable youth and families, promote help seeking, and improve outcomes through early intervention.
The Strong 6 Project aims to build safety and nurturing communities for children through a multi-pronged approach. It teaches Protective Behaviours curriculum to children, and educates parents and teachers on these concepts, to promote continuity. For children, lessons are delivered engagingly through a "Safety Circus". The project has launched in 6 schools in Townsville West and will evaluate outcomes over 2 years to refine its methods and share its practices more broadly.
Alcohol's role in family violence and opportunities for changeFRSA Communications
This document discusses the harms caused by alcohol consumption, particularly in relation to domestic violence and child abuse. It summarizes data showing that alcohol is a significant contributing factor in many domestic violence incidents and child maltreatment cases. Interviews with victims illustrate how alcohol often exacerbates abusive behaviors. The document argues for a national framework to address alcohol's role in family violence through primary, secondary and tertiary prevention strategies. These include regulating alcohol availability, price and marketing, as well as improving support services for at-risk families and victims of violence. The goal is to reduce alcohol-related harms and create a safer environment where all people can live free of violence.
Building Community Resilience to Violent Extremism – Government approaches”FRSA Communications
1) Australia has adopted a whole-of-government approach to countering violent extremism (CVE) through programs aimed at challenging terrorist propaganda, intervening in the radicalization process, and empowering communities.
2) Key aspects of Australia's CVE efforts include monitoring approximately 400 high-priority counter-terrorism investigations; challenging terrorist propaganda online and limiting access to extremist materials; and operating intervention programs in each state and territory to address the drivers of radicalization.
3) Empowering communities is seen as the best way to build resilience to radicalization through resources like the Living Safe Together website that provide information on radicalization and where to seek help.
Can Do Conversations….. Maximising parental alliance when working with childrenFRSA Communications
The document discusses strategies for maximizing parental alliance when working with children. It recommends using a child inclusive practice that respects children's rights to know and be cared for by both parents. The therapeutic alliance is important for establishing safety and meeting basic needs so new neural patterns can form. Developing empathy through motivational interviewing can help resolve ambivalence and support self-efficacy. Separating parents are advised to prioritize their own well-being first before helping their children so they have the capacity to protect their children from harm. The overall goal is to achieve good outcomes for families through an approach that establishes safety and meets basic needs.
Children's exposure to domestic and family violence: an overview of impact, r...FRSA Communications
This document discusses children's exposure to domestic and family violence in Australia. It finds that over 1 in 4 women experience violence from an intimate partner, with children often witnessing this violence. Exposure to violence can negatively impact children's learning, behavior, wellbeing and development. Responses aim to be holistic and trauma-informed, though services are in high demand. The document argues that primary prevention through school-based programs promoting gender equality and respectful relationships is important alongside efforts to support children already exposed to violence.
Gender and violence attitudes: emerging themes from client interviews after a...FRSA Communications
This document summarizes a study that evaluated a Men's Behavior Change Program through surveys and interviews. It found that while men reported improved self-esteem and motivation to change, their attitudes towards gender did not significantly shift. Some men expressed genuine changes in perspective and behavior, able to empathize with victims, while others contradicted this or blamed partners. The program is recommended to directly address attitudes towards gender and violence through interventions to help shift these deeply entrenched views.
Helping Couples and Families – Suggestions for Adapting Relationship Services...FRSA Communications
This document discusses ways to increase the reach and effectiveness of relationship services. It begins by outlining commonly offered relationship services and reviewing evidence on the efficacy and effectiveness of relationship education and therapy. A key finding is that while relationship interventions are generally efficacious, their effectiveness in real-world settings is lower. Several factors are proposed to explain this efficacy-effectiveness gap, including differences in client characteristics, assessment, treatment quality, and organizational factors between research and practice settings. The document concludes by describing several innovations designed to close this gap, such as offering flexible delivery relationship education and therapy online, implementing progress monitoring, and providing a tiered system of interventions matched to client risk and relationship functioning.
I like, like you: A healthy intimate relationships program for schoolsFRSA Communications
This document outlines a healthy intimate relationships program with the following key points:
1. The program aims to provide preventative education to young people on maintaining emotional health and building healthy relationships through knowledge of relationship skills and self-reflection.
2. It utilizes a staged-based model including primary prevention programs in schools and early intervention programs for individuals and families, and aligns with clinical practice across service provision.
3. The curriculum focuses on promoting equitable and respectful relationships through practical relationship skills, considering influences on relationships, and integrating lessons into daily life.
Mission Australia conducted a pilot study to measure client wellbeing outcomes in two of its programs. The study found that clients in the PHaMs program, which provides intensive wrap-around support, experienced significant improvements in personal wellbeing, life satisfaction, and reduced poor outcomes over time. In contrast, clients in the Job Services Australia program, which has a narrower focus on employment, did not see similar improvements. Key lessons included developing a sound framework, gaining management support, using repeat measures to track progress, and reflecting on results to inform practice improvements.
This document discusses family violence prevention strategies. It begins by outlining the national policy context in Australia and the role of Family and Relationship Services (FaRS) in strengthening family relationships and preventing violence. It then discusses the evidence base for family violence prevention, including the ecological model and risk/protective factors across the lifespan. Two family violence prevention projects conducted by FaRS organizations are described: 1) Just Families, which targets the transition to parenthood using a multi-risk prevention approach, and 2) an Indian Australian family violence project. The document emphasizes the importance of evaluation in advancing the evidence base for effective family violence prevention programs.
The key to good family law decision making and outcomes - Information sharing...FRSA Communications
The document discusses improving coordination between the family law, child protection, and community sectors when dealing with complex family cases involving issues like family violence, substance abuse, and mental health. It analyzes these sectors through the lens of a case study about a family ("Family X") experiencing these issues.
The sectors make different assumptions and have different focuses - the community sector provides support services, child protection investigates risk of harm, and the family court makes decisions based on evidence. This can lead to a lack of information sharing and understanding between the sectors. The document proposes improvements like better safety assessments, case management protocols, cross-sector training, and clearer guidelines for expert reports to help the systems work together more effectively for children and families
Two Cultures - One relationship: how does your culture impact your relationship?FRSA Communications
This document describes a program developed by two organizations to support cross-cultural couples. They conducted a survey that found issues with extended family, different values, and feeling like an outsider were common problems for these couples. They held workshops to increase couples' awareness of how culture can impact relationships and help them build skills to overcome challenges. A survey found the workshops successfully increased participants' knowledge and confidence in discussing cultural differences with their partners. The program aimed to provide early intervention for cross-cultural couples experiencing issues related to cultural differences.
Digital technology and social networking provide opportunities to place parenting information directly into the hands of parents. Multiple factors shape both parenting and children's outcomes, including personal history, family relationships, socioeconomic status, and early childhood experiences. The Raising Children Network website receives over 10 million visits annually from parents seeking mobile-optimized information on topics like child development, parenting tips, and special needs. It collaborates with experts, organizations, and communities to develop evidence-based resources designed to meet the growing demand for accessible parenting information.
Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

A Review of Best Practice for
Families Affected by Violence
in Post-Separation FDR
Sarah Dobinson & Rebecca Gray
November 2015
2. NEW SOUTH WALES
• Aims and method of review
• Risks
• Benefits
• Non-disclosure
• Consensus
• Barriers
• Conclusions
Overview
3. NEW SOUTH WALES
• Conducted a systematic review of the literature
• Collated information on “best practice”
• Aim: to identify existing best practice and shed light on
areas of confusion to improve service delivery now and
over the next ten years
• We focused on legal and social sciences databases
• We focused on Australia since 2006
• We noted seminal writers (Field, Bagshaw, Moloney etc)
• Checked their reference lists
Aims and Method
4. NEW SOUTH WALES
There is a lack of community /
practice based research
Support organisations to publish
or disseminate their work
Key finding One
5. NEW SOUTH WALES
• FDRs aim of facilitating negotiation between equal
parties undermined by power imbalance
• Victims may be silenced, intimidated and exposed to
further violence
• Victims may be pressured into agreements
• Victims, and their children, are exposed to further risk
post-mediation
• Some victims prefer FDR to court, and describe benefits
Bagshaw et al., 2011; Kaspiew et al., 2010; Field, 2010; Sifris & Parker,
2014; ALRC, 2010; Kirkwood, 2007; Wheeler, Gray & Hewlett, 2015
Risks
6. NEW SOUTH WALES
These risks are most prevalent
where family violence is
not identified, or not handled
appropriately
Key finding two
7. NEW SOUTH WALES
• Reduced cost
• Increased flexibility
• Faster resolution
• A less-adversarial process
• Empowerment through:
o Increased self-determination;
o FDR can accommodate and recognise emotion; and
o The potentially therapeutic effect of having stories of
past violence heard and acknowledged
ALRC, 2010; Field & Lynch, 2014; Kirkwood, 2007; Wheeler, Gray & Hewlett, 2015
Benefits
8. NEW SOUTH WALES
The professionals need adequate
training in family violence
FDR model needs to be
responsive to family violence
Key finding Three
9. NEW SOUTH WALES
• The reality: cases involving family violence will continue
to undergo FDR (ALRC, 2010)
• 85% who attempted FDR had experienced emotional or
physical violence in their relationship (Moloney et al., 2010)
• 40% who reported experiencing emotional or physical
violence did not disclose in FDR (Bagshaw et al., 2010)
Non-disclosure
10. NEW SOUTH WALES
Reasons include:
• Shame
• Fear of retaliation
• Fear that they will not be believed
• Fear of being perceived as uncooperative
• Not ready or able to identify their history of family
violence at the beginning of FDR
Bagshaw et al., 2010; Kaspiew et al., 2010
Non-disclosure
11. NEW SOUTH WALES
May want to undergo FDR in preference to court:
• Perceived as less daunting
• Particularly for those who have to self-represent against
the perpetrator
• Victims perceive FDR as a faster route
• Put the needs of their children above their own
ALRC, 2010; Field, 2010; Kirkwood & McKenzie 2008
Non-disclosure
12. NEW SOUTH WALES
People who use violence may choose not to disclose:
• Due to shame
• Lack of insight
• Fear of repercussions
• Unwillingness to make admissions or take responsibility
ALRC, 2010; Kaspiew, De Maio et al. 2014
Non-disclosure
13. NEW SOUTH WALES
Given the prevalence of
domestic and family violence
in FDR, we need to develop a
family violence framework
as standard.
Key finding Four
14. NEW SOUTH WALES
Safety measures
• Gender-balanced professional team;
• Availability of telephone or shuttle mediation;
• Staggered arrivals and separate waiting areas;
• Risk assessment on separate days;
• Support persons waiting for them;
• Vulnerable party to speak first in mediation;
• Breaks to privately “check in” with the victim.
Field & Lynch, 2014; Kirkwood & McKenzie, 2008; Rice, Washington, Signal & Taylor,
2012; Sifris & Parker, 2014; Beck, Walsh, Mechanic & Taylor, 2010; Henry & Hamilton,
2012a; Kirkwood, 2007; Semple, 2012
Best Practice: Areas of Consensus
15. NEW SOUTH WALES
Consensus
Safety measures
• Safety plan must be developed for every case as soon
as risk is identified
o Revisit in response to dynamic nature of family violence
• Prepare the parties before FDR commences
• FDRP to abandon classically ‘neutral’ position in favour
of ensuring equality between parties
• Perpetrator accountability
• Post-mediation follow-up
Kirkwood & McKenzie, 2008; Field, 2010; Field & Lynch, 2014Bickerdike, 2007; Douglas
& Field, 2006; Kirkwood, 2007; Semple, 2012
16. NEW SOUTH WALES
Screening
• Screening identifies the presence of family violence
• Must be sophisticated to determine which cases proceed
Risk assessment
• Determines the nature, frequency and severity of
violence to determine the current level of the risk
• Conducted by highly trained and skilled professional
• Must be ongoing, periodic and undertaken amidst trust
Jaffe, Johnston, Crooks & Bala, 2008; Rathus, 2013; Sifris & Parker, 2014; Wangmann,
2008
Consensus
17. NEW SOUTH WALES
Screening, risk assessment and
training are time and resource
intensive, but imperative
Research is needed to overcome
barriers associated with
resourcing
Key finding five
18. NEW SOUTH WALES
Collaborative practice
• Allows varied needs of clients to be met through holistic
response
• Allows professionals to share their professional
knowledge and expertise
• Inter-professional collaboration increases accountability
Croucher, 2014; Field & Lynch, 2014; Jaku-Greenfield, 2012; Kaspiew et al., 2014;
Moloney, Kaspiew, De Maio, Deblaquiere, 2013a; Moloney, Qu, Weston & Hand, 2013b
Consensus
19. NEW SOUTH WALES
Collaborative practice
• Lawyers are important in equalising power imbalance
• Can empower victim by:
o Explaining legal rights and responsibilities
o Preparing them for mediation
o Assisting them in identifying and advocating for their
interests and those of their children
o Helps make final agreement legally binding
o Facilitate alternatives FDR unsuccessful or unsuitable
Field & Lynch, 2014; Moloney et al., 2013; Kaspiew et al., 2012; Field, 2004;
Consensus
20. NEW SOUTH WALES
Outcomes are improved by good
collaboration
We need more published
accounts of what works in good
collaborative practice
Key finding six
21. NEW SOUTH WALES
Issues with Screening and Risk Assessment
• No universal screening tool
• Practice varies across agencies and between staff
• Ensuing debate about tools
– What the tools should look like
– Who should administer them
• Universal tools are not culturally or locally appropriate
• Tools do not factor in victim or professional capacities
Henry & Hamilton, 2012; Kirkwood & McKenzie, 2008; Rice et al., 2012; Sifris & Parker,
2014; Pokman, 2014; Kaspiew et al., 2012; McIntosh 2013
Barriers to Best Practice
22. NEW SOUTH WALES
Differing Understandings of Family Violence
• In 2011 family violence definition introduced to FLA
• BUT differing philosophical approaches remain
• Should we use typologies?
o Does this fit with family law definition?
o Too great a focus on physical violence
o Too great a focus on single acts of abuse
• If combined with a focus on coercion, control and fear
risks placing too great an evidentiary burden on victim
Croucher, 2014; Rathus, 2013; Robinson & Moloney, 2010; Wangmann, 2008; Kelly &
Johnson, 2008; Bickerdike, 2007; Beck & Raghaven, 2010
Barriers
23. NEW SOUTH WALES
Differing Understandings of Family Violence
• Is family violence gendered?
• Family violence theorists:
o Define FV as “interpersonal conflict”
o Count individual acts of physical or emotional violence
o Severity is derived from physical abuse
o Findings suggest FV is gender balanced
• Feminist theorists:
– Assess purpose, impact, history and context
– Findings indicate women are more likely to experience FV
Australian Law Reform Commission, 2010; Bagshaw et al., 2010b; Kaspiew et al., 2012;
Kirkwood, 2007; Cleak et al., 2014; Wangmann, 2008.
Barriers
24. NEW SOUTH WALES
Understanding of FV affects practice
• Disagreement diminishes collaborative practice
• Affects which cases are identified as involving FV and
assessment of the nature and severity of risk in
screening and risk assessment
• Agency and practitioner understandings of FV will
influence how these cases are managed
Barriers
25. NEW SOUTH WALES
“Culture Clash” between lawyers and FDRPs
• Lack of trust
• Differing professional values and languages
• Differing understandings of family violence
• Conflicting views on client needs
• Lack of understanding of each other’s roles, goals and
objectives
Hollonds, Hayes & Gleeson, 2012; Jaku-Greenfield, 2012; Kaspiew et al.,
2009; Moloney et al., 2013
Barriers
26. NEW SOUTH WALES
Professionals should be trained
and educated on family violence
and on each other’s roles,
limitations and responsibilities
If this is happening, the findings
need to be published or shared
Key finding seven
27. NEW SOUTH WALES
Confusion about which model of mediation to employ
• Disagreement about different FDR models
– Absence of research on the effectiveness of interventions for
men who use violence alongside FDR
• Lack of focused research about the efficacy of all models
• Confusion about when to use Child Inclusive Practice
• Safety concerns raised, need for case by case decisions
• Need for further research to resolve debates
Field & Lynch, 2014; Goodhardt, Fisher & Moloney, 2005; Smyth & Moloney, 2003;
Hamilton & Henry, 2012b; Hart, 2013; Hart, 2009; Kaspiew et al., 2012
Barriers
28. NEW SOUTH WALES
Consensus:
• Screening
• Risk assessment
• Interagency collaboration
• Balance power between parties
• Professional development
Conclusions
29. NEW SOUTH WALES
Dissension:
• What screening tools? Universal tools?
• How should they be used? Who to screen out?
• Who should administer these tools?
• How to define family violence in this context?
• How to improve interagency collaboration?
• Which mediation style is most appropriate?
