Collaborative practice improves the quality of your support

For people experiencing sexual assault, domestic or family violence, there may be a range of services and organisations they are in contact with for support. Organisations can respond better if they collaborate with other agencies that may be supporting the person they are working with. Working together in this way means consistent advice can be given to clients across different services. Collaborative practice also reduces the risk of re-traumatisation to clients by minimising the need to tell their story again to other workers.

Research into inter-agency collaboration may assist your organisation in setting up collaborative practices.
