Family violence is a complex issue, and people will experience violence differently. New research suggests that the majority of people accessing family violence services will experience some form of technology abuse, such as monitoring of their internet usage. But technology can also play an important role in helping those affected to get the help they need.
In this webinar, you’ll hear from family and domestic violence experts on their recent work to support people experiencing family violence through technology and how technology is being misused – through tech facilitated abuse and concerns about security and quality control.
The webinar will also include information on what to do when you have a client who you suspect is experiencing physical or technological abuse, and when to refer clients to a Domestic Violence specialist.
Featuring lightning talks from:
Helena Bates from Infoxchange – Outlining the recent changes to Ask Izzy and best practices. Introduction to speakers.
Rosalie O’Neale from eSafetyWomen, Office of the eSafety Commissioner – What to be aware of when using technology and how to stay safe online.
Karen Bentley from WESNET – Importance of smartphones for women to stay connected.
Liz Ratcliffe from Domestic Violence Resource Centre – Overview of the ARC App and how technology can help.
Leonie Burnham from Domestic Violence Victoria – Wrap up of recent developments post Royal Commission.
