The document summarizes a presentation on primary violence prevention given at the 6th Australian Women's Health Conference in May 2010. It describes the Inside Out Violence Prevention Project conducted from 2007 to 2009 with goals of enhancing an organization's capacity to address violence and abuse issues and promoting a respectful culture. The project utilized surveys, training, and discussions to measure and help reduce rates of bullying witnessed and experienced by staff from 23% to 12% and 40% to 13% over the two year period. It highlights the importance of organizational support and challenges of changing entrenched attitudes but also evidence that gradual change is possible through engaging diverse groups on these issues.

Editor's Notes
- #4: In the developed world, most intervention and effort at secondary and tertiary levels Easier Measurable Fundable
- #6: Activity V&A knew staff were seeing it either not responding or not reporting.
- #7: Against determinant and contributory factors for V&A Surprising amount of activity could be mapped against these factors not intentional not coordinated Determinant rigid gender roles dominance and control entitlement cultural support for inequality violence supportive attitudes CME VIV codes Preferred use - education Improvement in use
- #8: Mandated for all staff 165 attended (85%) Definitions Best Practice Principles Basic first response We found that Staff not responding Staff thought first response more Competence and confidence Diversity Homophobia Mandated for supervisors No need to train all
- #19: One house surrounded by 5 acres of daffodils. On the patio, is a poster to inform visitors: "Answers to the Questions I Know You Are Asking", was the headline. The first answer was a simple one. "50,000 bulbs," The second answer was, "One at a time, by one woman. Two hands, two feet, and one brain." The third answer was, "Began in 1958."
- #20: For me, that moment was a life-changing experience. I thought of this woman whom I had never met, who, more than forty years before, had begun, one bulb at a time, to bring her vision of beauty and joy to an obscure mountaintop. Planting one bulb at a time, year after year, this unknown woman had forever changed the world in which she lived. One day at a time, she had created something of extraordinary magnificence, beauty, and inspiration.
- #21: Violence is preventable We know what causes it We can prevent it
- #22: Back to evangelism Violence prevention is EVERBODYS business Whatever part of health you work in whether you: Cut toenails Dress wounds Work with children, men or women Whether you work at the reception counter In medical records Whether you write policy Whether you advise ministers Whatever part of the process you are responsible for, Get your bit right And we will all be planting daffodils.
