Learning Together: Safe and Equal’s Primary Prevention Communities of Practice
Learning Together describes the benefits of Communities of Practice for the Victorian primary prevention workforce and summarises Safe and Equal’s approach to delivery. It includes content adapted from the original Learning Together: DVRCV’s Communities of Practice, published by Domestic Violence Resource Centre Victoria (2020).
Safe and Equal primary prevention Communities of Practice (CoPs) are a proven and effective mechanism for facilitating collaboration among those engaged in violence prevention work, providing a platform to explore challenges and enhance skills through peer learning and expert facilitation. They are also critical infrastructure for supporting workforce wellbeing.
Learning Together has been written for current and prospective participants in Safe and Equal primary prevention activities, and for sector leaders and policymakers interested in understanding the transformative potential of CoPs for workforce development and sustainability at scale.
