Family Violence and Disability Films

Family Violence and Disability Films

WDV and National Disability Services (NDS) produce Family Violence and Disability Films

Women with Disabilities Victoria has collaborated with National Disability Services to develop four short films for disability workers on family violence and disability.

The films are:
• Preventing and responding to family violence
• Prevention of domestic and family violence
• Early intervention in domestic and family violence
• Responding to domestic and family violence

The purpose of the films is to help disability workers identify and respond to family violence. Research shows that people with disabilities experience higher rates of violence than people without disabilities. Women with disabilities in particular experience very high rates of family and domestic violence. The disability workforce has a vital role to play in preventing, identifying and responding to domestic and family violence.

 The films model best practice in accessibility. One version has an Auslan interpreter and subtitles. A second version of each film is audio described.
