Consider all of the information you read (and viewed) regarding domestic and intimate partner violence and the social work role in preventing and addressing these issues in practice.  Please also consider your practice experiences and field experiences related to this topic. Areas to consider should be: 

1. Does your agency have policies in place regarding violence in the workplace?

2. What safety features and procedures are in place to protect workers who go on home visits or have after hours appointments?

2. In what capacity might you encounter domestic or intimate partner violence at your placement and what resources are available to you to assist clients with these areas of concern?

3. What is one thing you can to advocate for victims of violence?
