Notes for interpreting results presented in this report

This report presents a summary of the 2019-20 Census findings for respondents who indicated that they held a role within Legal Services (n=60), in the broader workforce that intersects with family violence in Victoria. The broader workforce is defined as those who are sometimes in contact with victim survivors or perpetrators of family violence and are required to deal with the impacts of family violence, despite this not being a significant focus of their role.

Results have been suppressed where the number of respondents is fewer than 10, and caution should be applied when interpreting results where the number of respondents is low. Care should also be taken with extrapolating results to the population. Results presented as percentages throughout the report may not add up to 100% (particularly where displayed in chart form) due to rounding, or where participants were able to select more than one response.

Although the survey was an attempted census of all people in the broader workforce, to aid the interpretation of results, the researchers have treated the survey responses as though they have been obtained from a random sample of the workforce. Accordingly, the data presented in this document can be interpreted as having up to a +/- 13% margin of error at the 95% level of statistical confidence. The survey did not obtain enough responses to meet the target margin of error of +/- 10% at the 95% confidence level.
