Three two-hour workshops will be offered by
Debbs Murray

Coercive Control and Safety.
Coercive control by the perpetrator of
family violence is often unseen, and
contains lethality indicators that can
be missed, or minimised. This
workshop will increase your
understanding of the subtle tactics
that predominant aggressors can and
do perpetrate against primary victims

Waipapa Taumata Rau University of Auckland. She
has published widely on restorative justice,
presented at over 30 international conferences, and
has considerable experience of evaluating
restorative justice schemes.
Restorative Justice – Unpacking the Opportunities and Challenges
Unpack, discuss and reflect on key
issues within restorative justice
concepts and practice, including
core values and concepts, the
challenges of the RJ facilitator
role, the roles and responsibilities
of victims, offenders and
communities in RJ, and utilising RJ
in complex cases such as family
violence.

nations against genocide.

justice practices of resistance.
