Practice principles, standards and guidance for domestic and family violence services

As we are all developing a deeper understanding of the newly released Practice principles, standards and guidance for domestic and family violence services in Queensland, WorkUP Queensland is looking at them with a workforce lens.

The practice standards are informed by theoretical frameworks already familiar to many services. The updated standards support best practice by reflecting years of collective wisdom from across the sector. The theoretical frameworks underpinning the standards include but are not limited to a gendered analysis for understanding DFV, social justice and human rights principles, the psychosocial model, intersectional analysis and family systems theory.

WorkUP Queensland team members will be attending the DCSYW webinars to connect with the sector and deepen our understanding of these practice standards. We are interested in exploring how our work aligns with these standards and if the standards provide insight into the development or implementation any of our future activities supporting the capability and capacity of the workforce.
