Women with disability are at greater risk of experiencing Ddomestic family violence than those without disability. Domestic family violence services, therefore, need to be able to effectively support people with disability and to address any barriers they may face in accessing support.
The Guidelines provide a framework of overarching principles. The Resource Manual supports the guidelines by providing practice-based resources and tools to support both frontline workers and service managers in good practice service delivery.
The Good Practice Resource Manual is a live document that is continually being updated with useful tools that include policy and procedure templates, guidelines on working with different client cohorts, and clinical practice notes. The resources are grouped under topic areas including people with disability, children and young people and safety planning.
