THE City of Greater Dandenong is officially leading the way in family violence prevention.
The council has been working on White Ribbon Workplace accreditation for the past 18 months and was to officially receive it on Tuesday 12 April.
Greater Dandenong CEO John Bennie said the status formally recognised efforts to reduce the incidence of family violence against women and children.
“We are now officially recognised by White Ribbon Australia as a pioneer in contributing to national cultural change to prevent and respond to violence against women,” he said.
“White Ribbon accreditation not only makes a statement about the type of organisation we are but sends a very strong message to our community that the council is committed to the wellbeing of both our staff and residents.”
