Towards a Trauma-informed approach to victims/survivors of crimes compensation

There is very little literature or research directly dealing with a trauma-informed approach to victims/survivors of crime compensation and financial assistance. Importantly the literature available in relation to compensation and financial assistance schemes is usually limited to actuarial research and arguably does not apply a broad theoretical or practical approach to the issues. In this seminar Assessor Rob Guthrie will describe the processes and procedures currently adopted in Western Australia in relation to compensation for victims of crime where the Office of Criminal Injuries has been working towards a trauma-informed approach to compensation and supports for victims of crime.
