The purpose of the DVAC practice forum is to develop relationships between organisations, departments and
\nindividuals working with those in the community who have been impacted by sexual violence.<\/p>\n

Reporting sexual abuse can be a complex and retraumatising time for victims. Reducing the risk of further
\ntraumatising relies heavily on responses from others. How can we as individuals, as a community and in our
\norganisations ensure we are part of the healing process of increased wellbeing of survivors of sexual violence.
\nLet\u2019s start the conversation and bring to the table the voices of survivors.<\/p>\n

The aim of this community forum is to hear the different perspectives, share what is working well and what is
\nnot, and highlight the stories of hope that fuel commitment, determination, and passion to better understand
\nwhat sexual abuse is and how to respond sensitively and respectfully.<\/p>\n
