Information Sharing and Family Violence Reforms
DET is continuing to deliver online integrated training on the Information Sharing and Family Violence Reforms for education workforces. Over 13,000 leaders and professionals from centre-based education and care services and schools have undertaken training on the Reforms since March 2020.
In addition to the significant amount of training and implementation support already available, VCISECS is providing direct training and implementation guidance to all Victorian government school principals via the Term 4 Area Principal forums across October and November 2022.
VCISECS is also delivering training at Catholic Education Commission Victoria forums across October. This will see significant increases in the number of schools with multiple staff trained in the Child and Family Violence Information Sharing Schemes by the end of Term 4, 2022.
Contextualised MARAM tools and training
DET is developing MARAM-aligned family violence contextualised tools to support prescribed workforces to identify and respond to family violence; ensuring MARAM is easily understood and embedded across education workforces.
Targeted MARAM training will be offered to ‘nominated staff’ at education and care workforces (staff identified by their organisational leader as having additional MARAM responsibilities of screening, referral and safety planning). DET is procuring a supplier to develop and deliver targeted MARAM training from 2023.
