Point of contact: Frontline Response Framework Book 3

As Book 3 of the Point of Contact training resource series developed under an Australian Government Initiative, this document provides a Frontline Response Framework specifically for practitioners who encounter children living with family and domestic violence. The framework equips frontline workers across health, education, child protection, police, and community services with practical guidance to recognize the signs of children’s exposure to violence, understand its developmental and psychological impacts, and respond in ways that prioritize safety, wellbeing, and the child’s voice. Key components include principles for child-aware practice, risk assessment considerations when violence is present in the home, strategies for safe engagement with children and non-offending parents, and protocols for interagency collaboration and referral. The resource emphasizes that children are not just “witnesses” but direct victims of family and domestic violence, and that effective intervention requires holding perpetrators accountable while supporting the protective parent-child relationship. Designed as a training tool, it contains case scenarios, practice tips, and reflective exercises to build workforce capability. Intended for frontline professionals, team leaders, and trainers in government and NGO sectors, this book serves as a standardized operational guide to ensure consistent, trauma-informed, and child-centered responses to children affected by family and domestic violence across Australia.
