What is the Enhance Perpetrator-focused MARAM Practice project?
The MARAM enhancement project (as part of the Changing Ways program) is running from 2024-27 to deliver:
- change management activities to improve coordination of multi-agency activity around the perpetrator.
- a MARAM practice support function to support continuous learning and skill development.
Principal Strategic Advisors will lead a place-based implementation approach to drive organisational alignment to MARAM at the local level. Changing Ways Providers will drive internal practice changes and work collaboratively with local services to improve skills.
This approach has been designed to pilot a new model of MARAM and information sharing whole of system response, with learnings to inform future implementation efforts.
What is happening now?
As Changing Ways Providers, Peninsula Health, Meli, and Dardi Munwurro are delivering MARAM Practice Lead roles, focused on increasing understanding and building skills in MARAM practice when working with people using family violence.
Principal Strategic Advisors located in Barwon and Bayside are leading a range of MARAM alignment and information sharing initiatives. This includes working with organisations that come into contact and supporting clients of Changing Ways.
Dardi Munwurro is undertaking a learning project to explore what enables or hinders organisational MARAM alignment. The project aims to deepen understanding of the engagement and capability building activities critical to improving MARAM alignment. It will focus on the partnership and collaboration elements of the MARAM Framework recognising they are critical to the success of systemic responses to family violence.
