This training is designed for workers or volunteers who have contact with people
escaping or experiencing domestic or family violence or who have contact
with the LGBTIQ community, including the NSW Police, court support workers
and volunteers, DFV frontline workers and referral services, community legal
centre workers, legal aid, health workers, counsellors and social workers, and
the medical profession.
LGBTIQ* Safe Relationships Awareness Training
* LGBTIQ refers to diverse sexualities, sex, and gender identities – lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, intersex and queer
LGBTIQ people experience domestic violence at similar rates to people
in heterosexual relationships, but have significantly lower reporting
rates. As a result, the LGBTIQ Community is a vulnerable and at-risk
group, experiencing social isolation and multiple legal issues.
This training will provide participants with:
•
Improved knowledge, skills and abilities to work more inclusively with
vulnerable LGBTIQ people;
•
A sound understanding of the legal barriers and legal rights of LGBTIQ
people experiencing or escaping domestic or family violence;
•
Confidence to talk openly with LGBTIQ people to identify and discuss safe
and unsafe relationships;
•
The opportunity to establish local and referral networks.
We acknowledge and pay our respect to the traditional owners and custodians of the land on which we work and live.
The Safe Relationship Project is a court support and legal advice service of the Inner City Legal Centre.
Supported by Law and Justice Foundation of NSW.
