The Education Hub - Conversation with the experts

In this episode we are chatting with Dani Gold, who is a senior social worker in the Family Violence team at the RCH. Dani’s current work focuses on supporting healthcare workers to understand and respond to children and families experiencing Family Violence. Today we are delving into Family Violence as well as gender-based violence, which are both health issues. As healthcare workers, by recognising and responding to Family Violence, even in small ways, we can have a significant impact on the lives of children and their caregivers. This conversation provides listeners with the tools to recognise and respond to Family Violence, including how to frame conversations and advocate for families, thus enhancing the safety and dignity of those we care for.  Resources - (some of these are Australia specific) 1800 RESPECT  Safe Steps Family Violence Response Centre  No To Violence Men’s Referral Service Djirra WithRespect Safer Families centre
