This unit will provide you with opportunities to develop specialist knowledge of men’s behaviour change interventions and practice with a specific focus on working with voluntary and involuntary clients in domestic and family violence work. Critical use is made of evidence-based research, and practice and policy documents addressing issues related to working with male perpetrators of violence. You will explore the origins of men’s behaviour change interventions, and the legal and safety considerations that arise from working with this client group, particularly as they apply to group work modalities. You will consider ethical, professional and self-management implications for practice. Domestic and family violence perpetration as it affects people from priority populations, such as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and people from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) communities will be considered in this unit.

Assessment Overview
Assessment Grading
This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of ‘pass’ in order to pass the unit. If any ‘pass/fail’ tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully (‘pass’ grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the ‘assessment task’ section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%). Consult the University’s Grades and Results Policy for more details of interim results and final grades.
