1.3 Family Violence and Juvenile Justice Project Up to five PICs responding as a sector, more holistically and competently to family/juvenile justice issues. Improvements in competence to manage family/juvenile issues in two PICs. 2012 Baseline: Judicial and court officers are not aware of and/or not appropriately responding to family violence and juvenile justice issues which are pervasive across the region and the poor responses to these issues undermines appropriate access to justice for vulnerable groups. Family Violence and Youth Justice workshops were held in two PICs to improve their competence to manage family/juvenile issues. 40 participants attended a workshop in Palau and 35 attended a workshop in Vanuatu, both of which were reportedly high quality, practical, relevant and useful. Participants assessed improvements in awareness, knowledge, skills and attitudes related to relevant issues, law, contemporary practice and procedure and MOUs were signed at the conclusion of both workshops to promote improvements in family / domestic violence law, practice and procedure and commitment made to develop diversionary processes for juveniles. Workshops were held in two PICs to improve their competence and response to family/juvenile justice issues. One PIC received a monitoring visit to follow-up on and further strengthen competence to deal with these issues. 48 participants attended a workshop in Tonga and 42 attended a workshop in Samoa. At both workshops participants reported an increase in confidence and demonstrated improvements in awareness, knowledge, skills and attitudes related to the relevant issues, law, contemporary practice and procedure. Both workshops produced a compilation of objectives that organisations in attendance are to pursue to increase their coordination and collaboration, as well as jointly improve their response to family/juvenile justice issues.
