The #ReadyToListen MAP
The #ReadyToListen MAP outlines 10 Elements (or actions) required for residential aged care service providers to be #ReadyToListen to and respond to allegations of sexual assault. Being #ReadyToListen is about ensuring victim support and protection, it's also about preventing sexual assault. The MAP covers the Myths, facts And Practical strategies residential aged care service providers need to understand and implement.

MAP Workshop Kit
This kit is for facilitators to present three workshops that cover all the 10 elements of the MAP. We recommend facilitators familiarise themselves with the MAP resources (above) before delivering workshops.

For each workshop there is a facilitators guide and a ppt presentation.
