Ethical Inquiry is a two-day, practice-focused training that equips practitioners with a structured framework for engaging men who use violence while maintaining clear accountability and prioritising the safety of women and children.

Ethical Inquiry centres disciplined, accountable engagement. Participants learn how to hold professional authority without domination, prevent responsibility from drifting into explanation or blame, and structure conversations so that accountability remains visible, even under pressure.

Through a clear three-step engagement structure, practical rehearsal, and live skills demonstration, practitioners develop the capacity to:

  • Identify and respond to denial, minimisation, and blame

  • Locate responsibility before opening reflection

  • Invite ethical positioning without escalation

  • Assess readiness for safety planning

  • Sustain ethical clarity within statutory and organisational pressures

The training integrates mindset and method. Participants examine their own positioning, the influence of organisational contexts, and the parallel process that can emerge between practitioner and client.

Designed for statutory and tertiary practitioners, Ethical Inquiry strengthens the capacity to conduct structured, accountable conversations in complex and high-risk contexts.

Participants leave with practical tools and post-training resources to support ongoing skills development in everyday practice.
