This training is limited to family violence, sexual violence, and allied professionals.
This one-hour webinar covers the most common social media platforms used by Australians. The presenter will then discuss how DFV perpetrators commonly misuse social media and what can be done to support victim-survivors. Participants will also look at the data these platforms collect, store and share, and cover how victim-survivors can maximise the built-in privacy and security settings, use the abuse-reporting features and potentially document abuse.
Please direct all queries to the organiser.
