| Introducing the New Self-Assessment Packets
|
| | Not ready for a full-scale Safety Audit, looking for a "tune-up" from a previous Audit or
seeking a less intensive way to look at part of your system? A new
self-assessment tool is available for communities who want to use the
lessons learned from other Audits to examine their system's response.

to prepare your team to maximize this training. We'll focus on using
the Audit Institute to jump-start your Audit.

| Implementation Strategies
|
| | In this call we will share the results of a series of interviews Praxis
conducted to learn about how Audit findings have been implemented
around the country. We'll explore how teams maintained enthusiasm,
struggled with the hard findings, responded to post-Audit politics and
changed work practices.

June 2
| Audit Outcomes: Products and Possibilities |
| |
This call will explore a range of products Audit teams have created in response to their findings (educational materials, tools for practitioners, forms and policies). This is a great opportunity to find new ways of examining our local institutions.

Stay tuned for information on our Spring 2010 Audit Institute!
Sample information from the Spring 2009 Institute
This annual intensive Institute is designed to provide grantees of the Office on Violence Against Women with the practical skills needed to coordinate a Safety and Accountability Audit. You will leave prepared to use the Audit data collection methods, facilitate data analysis, make meaningful recommendations, and maximize participation in your Audit team. The training will be interactive, with extensive practice and review of Audit techniques and strategies, and will involve the study of actual case files, lecture, and small and large group exercises.
If you are or will be responsible for coordinating a Safety and Accountability Audit in your community, we hope you and another member of your Audit team will join us for this 4-day intensive training with a special half-day session just for Audit Coordinators.
Registration is required. Space is limited and fills up quickly—requests to send more than two participants per community will be considered only if space is available. Please wait until your reservation is confirmed before making hotel and travel arrangements. |
