The Blueprint for Safety – An Interagency Response to Domestic Violence Crimes Bringing the Voices of Survivors into System Change
The voices of survivors often get lost within the system that is trying to help them. Well-intended actions of agencies within the system can have unintended consequences for victims. The system must be intentional in building this awareness into policy and practice by using a variety of methods to ensure the experiences of those who are overrepresented and/or underserved in the system are considered.
Participants will be introduced to The Blueprint as an innovative, victim-centered approach to evaluate how the criminal justice system is working for and against victims to keep them safe and hold offenders accountable. Emphasis will be placed on bringing voices and experiences of survivors into inter-agency collaboration to create change in policies and procedures, creating a more uniform response to domestic violence.
Participants will be introduced to practical tools in the Blueprint used to assess gaps in the system’s response to domestic violence such as work groups, focus groups, and case mapping. They will discover the Blueprint’s unique approach to assessing risk and danger, allowing a community to “connect the dots” and paint a picture of the violence and make that picture visible throughout the criminal justice processes.
- Describe the Blueprint for Safety and its effectiveness as a tool for community assessment
- Become familiar with practical tools to facilitate community assessment, assess risk and danger, and determine systemic gaps.
- Strategize how to bring the experiences of survivors into assessing the criminal justice system’s response to domestic violence.
