New suite of MARAMIS learning and development products

Safe and Equal in collaboration with the MARAMIS implementation team continue to develop three new Learning and Development products aimed to increase DFFH policy and practice leaders’ understanding of Family Violence and how the MARAMIS reforms can be used to help end family violence occurring in Victoria.

The packages are:

  • MARAM Leading Alignment: developed for DFFH Executives and Managers to support them to understand their obligations to lead the internal alignment at DFFH.
  • MARAM Supporting Alignment: for DFFH workforce leads, policy and project staff to develop a deep understanding of how the MARAM principles, core knowledge and best practice risk assessment and management must be incorporated into their work.
  • Information Sharing Schemes (ISS) workshops: developed for DFFH internal staff to develop a deep understanding of the ISS to promote the wellbeing of children and young people under CISS and to assess or manage family violence risk under FVISS.
