The National Centre offers a range of training, learning and development activities for professionals and organisations that work with and support victims and survivors of child sexual abuse.
In Conversation: Creating a justice system that serves the needs of victims and survivors
Challenge 3, 5 and 7 in Here for Change, the National Centre’s Five Year Strategy, highlights that children, young people and adults who experience child sexual abuse are often not protected or well supported to meet their changing needs at different times in their lives.
Moderated by National Centre CEO Dr Leanne Beagley, this In Conversation discussion brings together lived experience with insights from research and practice experts to explore what a justice system would look like if it was designed to serve the needs of victims and survivors.
The webinar will unpack:
-
barriers that impede a positive and meaningful justice process and outcomes
-
how the current justice system compounds trauma for victims and survivors
-
how healing could be facilitated through a transparent, inclusive, trauma responsive and accessible justice system
Guest speakers include:
Jodi Death, Associate Professor, School of Justice, Queensland University of Technology
Malika Elizabeth Reese, Member of the National Centre Survivor-led Adult College
Hanina Rind, Lawyer and Member of the National Centre First Nations College
Renee Handsaker, Practice Lead, Open Circle, Centre for Innovative Justice, RMIT University
This webinar is part of a concentrated effort by the National Centre to support the translation of knowledge and improve responses for victims and survivors of child sexual abuse
