Family Violence Specialist Organisation Standards (SOS) and Entry to Expert (E2E) Framework Engagement Survey

Overview

We are reaching out to invite you to give your feedback on the Specialist Family Violence Organisation Standards (SOS) and the Specialist Family Violence Entry to Expert Workforce Capability Framework (E2E).

The Specialist Family Violence Organisation Standards (SOS) are focused on lifting the capability of specialist family violence practitioners. The standards are intended to promote ‘ongoing development of, and reflection on, safe, holistic and effective specialist organisational practice’ (SOS).

The Entry to Expert Framework (E2E) defines family violence workforce capabilities at different practice levels: from foundational to expert.  The capabilities will inform practice and development of family violence practitioners in order to provide a well-informed specialist workforce and support the start of a FV practitioner career pathway.

We are asking you to read these two prototype tools linked below and provide feedback in this survey. The survey is anonymous unless you would like to add your name.

Additionally, if you would like us to organise a face-to-face/online meeting with you, or hui with your organisation, please contact us and we will work with you to organise this.

Why your views matter

These tools were developed by the Progressive Design Group established by the Joint Venture and included representatives from the diverse specialist FVSV workforce. They have since been modified by the Joint Venture.  We are now seeking wide engagement to ensure that voices from across Māori organisations, iwi, the family violence and sexual violence sectors, communities and government are included in these resources. Please read the Context document linked below to give you more information about the background, and the potential use of these tools.  

The scope of this engagement will focus feedback on the core components of these tools – that is, the standards and capabilities.  Your feedback would be appreciated if you think the standards or capabilities are misplaced or the language could be misinterpreted, particularly around issues of safety.

If you would like to provide your email address within the survey, we can send you the key themes from the feedback. We will also make these available through sector networks.
