To achieve the best possible outcomes, use best practice.

If intervention strategies come from evidence based research planning, an understanding of the determinants of behaviours and environments, systematic approaches to implementation and evaluation is undertaken, then there is a great chance that the program or project will be effective!

Planning

Whilst your plan may constantly evolve, it's about getting the building blocks right.

Implementation

Clear communication, and project monitoring, and a team based effort.

Evaluation

Think you have got it right? Check, then re-check (and check again!).

    A Right to Respect, Victoria's Plan to Prevent Violence Against Women, is a coordinated, whole-of-community framework that contains a comprehensive range of strategies to promote non violence, gender equity and respectful relationships throughout the community - for example in homes, workplaces, on the sporting field, and in schools.
