Media Advisory – VPGB Launches Revised Protocol

On June 21^st at 1pm, Violence Prevention Grey Bruce will launch the latest community response protocol to domestic and sexual violence. The event will take place at the Canadian Mental Health Association boardroom at 1024, 2nd Ave East in Owen Sound.

The revised Protocol outlines what happens when services and providers respond to sexual and domestic violence.  It is designed to help service providers work together effectively and for the public to have a clearer understanding of how services and providers respond to sexual and domestic assault situations.  The Protocol is the working agreement between the protocol partners with a focus on collaborative and consistent service response that increases safety, reduces risks, and helps to prevent further assaults in our community. For the first time this year, the Protocol will be available online for easy reference.

The event will include a brief introduction, demonstration of the website, distribution of promotional materials, and a photo opportunity. It will conclude at 1:45pm.

Media are invited to attend.

Inquires should be directed to the coordinator@violencepreventiongreybruce.com.
