Notes for interpreting results presented in this report

This report includes results for individuals who indicated that they worked in Children and Family Services, Child Protection, Out-of-home Care, or Parenting Services. This report presents a summary of the 2019-20 Census findings for respondents who indicated that they held a role within Children, Families and Child Protection (n=416), in the broader workforce that intersects with family violence in Victoria. The broader workforce is defined as those who are sometimes in contact with victim survivors or perpetrators of family violence and are required to deal with the impacts of family violence, despite this not being a significant focus of their role.

Results have been suppressed where the number of respondents is fewer than 10, and caution should be applied when interpreting results where the number of respondents is low. Care should also be taken with
extrapolating results to the population. Results presented as percentages throughout the report may not add up to 100% (particularly where displayed in chart form) due to rounding, or where participants were able to
select more than one response.

The data presented in this report can be interpreted as having up to a +/- 5% margin of error at the 95% level of statistical confidence.
