About the course

During this workshop, we will explore how to undertake an appropriate risk analysis for technology facilitated family violence and develop robust safety strategies to keep primary victims safe on devices. We will explore the tracking capabilities of unexpected everyday devices, such as pet microchips, and electronic tools in homes, such as automatic curtains openers, appliance apps, and how, unbelievably, these can be used to perpetrate harm. This workshop will provide tools to appropriately consider, recognise and respond to technology facilitated family violence.
