Report from the Family Violence: Cross Border Issues and Solutions Forum

Abstract

This report provides the findings emerging from the Family Violence: Cross Border Issues and Solutions Forum facilitated by the social work team at the La Trobe Albury-Wodonga campus. Firstly, this report provides a snapshot of key points from the literature concerning the unique challenges confronting those responding to family violence in a cross border context. The report then revisits the day briefly, before outlining findings arising from the World Café group discussions. The report concludes with some recommendations that may contribute to the development of new policies and opportunities for cross border agency collaboration in the Albury-Wodonga area as well as improved service coordination.
