Notes:	Previous ed.: 1997 These standards were developed to promote best practice in intervention with men who abuse their relationship partners, and are guided by principles of responsibility, accountability and respectfulness to all persons affected by domestic violence. Each of the four authors has first hand experience in working with perpetrators of domestic violence. Each section of the document reflects what the authors see as the overriding concern in this work: the vital importance of ensuring the safety of women and children. Twenty six workers from the field, and policy makers, participated in the evaluation of the draft document, with the aim of reaching an agreement on the appropriateness of the standards. The final document is a reflection of both the authors’ knowledge of the field, and the intensive consultation process. The standards define domestic violence, competency, and intervention; outline units and elements of competency and their performance indicators; explain the accountability process of working with perpetrators of domestic violence; and include a range of variables statement. The general principles of the standards start from the assumption that domestic violence has been identified, and are intended for work with the client group both in face-to-face casework, and group work. Even though the standards were written with a gender and culture focus, their applicability to working with same-sex relationships, indigenous and NESB clients is clear.
