Building Bridges Forum Evaluation Report

The Building Bridges Forum was an all-day online event held on 5th June 2024 and brought together more than 120 leaders and practitioners from across the family violence sector.

The Forum was delivered in two parts:

  • A morning ‘expert’ panel session that discussed Service Mapping with Adults Using Violence Services. This session was focused on enhancing visibility and connectivity across the system.
  • Afternoon workshops that were designed as more interactive sessions that were lead by sector experts. The workshops utilized a shared case study to explore three core areas:
    a. Deep dive: Information Sharing Schemes
    b. Embedding cultural safety and respect with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities
    c. Culturally informed care when working with migrant and refugee women.

The NIFVS team have produced an Evaluation Report – which includes key findings and recommendations – that can be downloaded utilising the buttons below.
