This report is a summary of evaluation of the Statewide Prevention Workforce Development program in 2022/23.
Evaluation demonstrates that the Statewide program remained highly successful in reaching and building the capability and connection of primary prevention practitioners across Victoria during 2022/23. Performance on all key indicators was well above target, and results relating to relevance and effectiveness exceeded last year’s performance. The inter-connected and complementary nature of activities facilitated peer and sector connection, with feedback from practitioners suggesting they see benefits for their wellbeing, learning and confidence.
2022/23 was Year 2 for the Statewide Prevention Workforce Development Program (known as ‘the Statewide program’), delivered by Safe and Equal with funding from the Victorian Department of Families Fairness and Housing (2022-26) and Department of Education (2021-25).
