Welcome to the Respectful Relationships Expression of Interest

Interested Victorian Catholic and independent primary, secondary, P-12 and specialist schools should complete the Expression of Interest to participate in the Respectful Relationships initiative.

Before completing this Expression of Interest, please read the information for schools at www.vic.gov.au/respectful-relationships.

The EOI comprises two sections:

Section A seeks core information about your school.
It also seeks information about your school’s readiness and capacity to participate in Respectful Relationships by focusing on the key aspects of the Respectful Relationships initiative:

1. A whole school approach to school-based, primary prevention of gender-based violence

2. Development of the school culture and environment

3. Professional learning to support school leaders, teachers and other school-based staff

4. Providing support and resources for staff and students

5. Building relationships with the community, including response services, community groups and families

Section B seeks information about your school's readiness to support a cluster of schools to implement the initiative.

Lead schools mentor a cluster of schools and drive change across the state. Lead Schools will assume the role of mentors by:

- Leading a cluster of schools
- Providing advice on implementation strategies and sharing expertise and resources
- Modelling respect and equality across the system
- Collaboratively working with Respectful Relationships Department of Education area-based staff

Lead schools will receive $10,000 in funding a year, for two years and support to implement a whole-school approach within their own school, and for mentoring a cluster of schools.

All questions in the EOI form must be completed for the application to be considered, including the declaration. If you aren’t able to complete it at once, make sure that you click next before closing the survey so that your input so far is saved.

A Word version is available should you wish to develop your application in collaboration with your colleagues and then copy and paste the final text into the form.
