We'll learn how to strengthen our work with victims/survivors and with perpetrators.
We'll make sense of our role and responsibilities as part of a system that can contribute to safety and manage risk.
We'll be better able to challenge perpetrators' systematic tactics of isolation, fear and coercion, understand the limitations of our service systems, and support victims/survivors to interrupt and alleviate entrapment.
