Advanced family violence training for child intervention staff : a review of the literature

This literature review was conducted as part of a collaborative research project conducted by Calgary Counselling Centre researchers in partnership with Alberta Human Services: Child Intervention, Family Violence Prevention and Homeless Supports (FVPHS) and The Alberta Centre for Child, Family and Community Research. In this review the authors examine Canadian incident rates for domestic violence in child welfare cases, the co-occurrence of exposure to domestic violence and other forms of child maltreatment, current risk assessment tools, and safety planning practices used with families in which domestic violence is a concern. Family violence training programs for Child Intervention staff are reviewed and the best and promising practices are identified.
