Respectful relationships evaluation

This report of the Respectful Relationships Evaluation Project has been prepared by the team from the Institute for Social Science Research (ISSR) at The University of Queensland (UQ) for the Department of Social Services (DSS). The report provides a final summary of the evaluation of projects funded by DSS’ Respectful Relationships initiative in three funding rounds. DSS provides leadership in Australian Government policy and project management on issues affecting women and gender equality, family and community safety, and the delivery of women's safety initiatives. DSS, in partnership with State and Territory governments, have been responsible for the implementation of a range of initiatives aimed at reducing violence against women under the National Plan to Reduce Violence against Women and their Children 2010-2022. Respectful Relationships is a primary prevention initiative that has sought to reduce sexual assault and domestic and family violence through education.
