Benalla- MARAM training for nominated staff in schools and early childhood services

Course outline

The Department of Education has partnered with the Centre for Excellence in Child and Family Welfare to deliver free and interactive family violence MARAM training to education workforces. This 4-hour training will support school and early childhood staff to build on skills they already have to better identify and respond to family violence.

This training is for MARAM nominated staff. MARAM nominated staff are identified by school and service leaders and have qualifications, training, experience, or a role aligned with wellbeing, such as wellbeing coordinators or leadership staff.  The training includes activities that will support MARAM nominated staff to screen for family violence, plan for safety, make referrals and reports, and provide ongoing support.

Training hours count towards professional learning for Victorian Institute of Teaching registration, and Casual Relief Teacher reimbursement is available (the Centre will email you instructions about how to claim this).

The training is based on the Department of Education’s Information Sharing and Family Violence Reforms: Guidance and Tools.
