Point of Contact: Values Exercises - Book 10

As Book 10 of the Point of Contact training resource series developed under an Australian Government Initiative, this document provides a set of structured reflective exercises designed to help practitioners examine the personal and professional values, beliefs, and biases that influence their responses to children living with family and domestic violence. The resource recognizes that effective, child-centred practice requires self-awareness, as unexamined attitudes about gender, parenting, violence, and culture can unintentionally lead to victim-blaming, minimisation, or collusion with perpetrators. It includes facilitated activities, discussion prompts, and scenario-based exercises that challenge participants to identify assumptions, align practice with evidence-based principles, and strengthen commitment to safety, accountability, and the rights of children. Key themes covered include beliefs about children’s credibility, responsibility for violence, the role of non-offending parents, and professional boundaries. Designed to be used in group training or supervision, the book supports individual and team reflection to build consistency across services. Intended for frontline workers, managers, and trainers in child protection, police, health, education, and community sectors, this training resource functions as a tool to embed ethical, reflective, and values-driven practice when responding to children affected by family and domestic violence in Australia.
