Sydney Law School and Insight Exchange invite you to participate in a Responders Lab session, supported by the Sydney Policy Lab.

The Responders Lab is designed to support you in exploring and building on your understanding of domestic, family and sexualised violence, and how this influences what you might notice, think or do in your responses. The use of violence and abuse continues to be a serious problem globally and locally. National, state and territory definitions of domestic, family and sexualised violence and criminal codes vary, however violence and abuse is never acceptable in any community, family, institution, place or context. There is no one preference or path for support. Every responder, community and industry matters.

But the demands in our lives are many – studying, working, caring and more. And our days fill with so much to do and so much to care about.

Is it too noisy to think? To think about our responses to violence and abuse?

Too little space to think or permission to pause?

‘Time’ to think is one thing. ‘Room’ to think is another.

When it comes to violence and abuse, thinking about our responses is important, intentional and essential.

At the Responders Lab you will have the opportunity to reflect and exchange insights by:

drawing on your own thinking and contextual expertise
critically thinking about your assumptions, observations, actions, and inactions as a responder
reflecting on what these insights (content & conversations) reveal to you and your peers

Watch to find out more.
