Notes: | One of the main advantages of an effective coordinated response to domestic and family violence is the process for sharing information across agencies working with victims of violence. This process enables all agencies to be informed of risk issues, to screen effectively and to minimise secondary victimisation. Without it, victims can be required to tell their stories repeatedly to agencies in the child protection, domestic violence, criminal justice, family law and welfare/ economic support systems. Information sharing between agencies and the family courts also assists them to establish the truthfulness of allegations of violence or substance abuse, and to support quality decision making, which takes account of different factors that impact on the wellbeing and safety of children. |
