Training Package for Suicide Risk in Domestic and Family Violence

awarded

Closed

To procure a supplier to develop a tailored, whole-of-system training package to support government agencies and non-government services to identify and respond to suicide risk when supporting people impacted by domestic and family violence (DFV). The Department of Families, Seniors, Disability Services and Child Safety (the Department) is revising the Framework to strengthen and enhance its use. This presents an opportunity to increase understanding of the intersection between suicide and DFV, and guide practitioners to confidently identify and respond to people experiencing suicide risk in DFV. Effective responses to suicide risk and DFV require cross-agency coordination across multiple services including health, justice, education, housing, and child protection. Given the intersection between DFV and suicide risk, the Framework acknowledges practitioners working with people impacted by DFV have a role to play in responding to suicide risk. The Department is seeking to engage a supplier to develop and deliver a training package to support government agencies and non-government services. The development of a tailored suicide risk and response training package will support the implementation of the revised Framework across the service system and help to build workforce capability for practitioners to better respond to people impacted by DFV who are at suicide risk.
