Training for Code of Practice
To support organisations and practitioners, CWSW offers a tiered learning program:
- eLearning Package – self-paced module that introduces the Code prior to attending practice based training.
- Online practice-focused training – interactive, scenario-based application – please ensure you have completed the eLearn prior to attending.
- Train the Trainer Program (two day) – preparing practice leadership to cascade training within their services.
These offerings ensure all staff, from leadership and practice management to frontline practitioners, have role-relevant tools that support organisational alignment with the Code.
Training to support the implementation of the new Code of Practice for Specialist Family and Domestic Violence Services is being rolled out throughout 2026 to family and domestic violence practitioners and leaders.
