The Safer Together Protocol has been developed as an extension of the 2008 state-wide template developed by DHHS, and a 2009 forum held for EMR stakeholders. The establishment of this protocol for the eastern metropolitan region is led by the Regional Family Violence Partnership as a key action under its 2015-2018 Strategic Plan. The document also refers to a number of protocols which underpin this Protocol.
The purpose of the protocol is to articulate local referral and secondary consultation provcesses that provide:
- Clear and succinct local referral processes to and from services (Family Violence, Child FIRST/Integrated Family Services, Child Protection and Victoria Police)
- Clear and succinct local secondary consultation processes to and from services
- Clarity around collaborative practice approaches.
This aims to strengthen practice that ensures the safety, protection and wellbeing of children and young people, as well as safety and empowerment for victims of family violence.
