Require All Family Law Professionals to have Training about Domestic Abuse — 147 signatures. Status: closed.

Petition background

We would like standardised DA Training to be Mandatory for All Family Law Professionals, and for the Government to provide funding for this, and to enforce this requirement.

Additional details

We believe this would help: Protect survivors and children: Professionals must recognise abuse, especially coercive control, to ensure safety & well-being Improve justice outcomes: Training helps ensure professionals understand domestic abuse, preventing misuse of the legal system by abusers Create consistency: Standardised training leads to fairer, safer outcomes in family law cases Prevent harm: Inadequate training risks re-traumatising victims, unsafe decisions, & misidentifying abusers in cases of manipulation & control
