Vulnerability issues piloted to increase cultural competency

Dr Isabelle Bartkowiak-Théron recently piloted a teaching initiative to expose police recruits to vulnerability issues early, during their time at the police academy. TILES is now evaluating how weekend camps with disadvantaged young people can increase the cultural competency of police in addressing vulnerability issues in the field. Edmund Rice Camps have become partners of Tasmania Police in this endeavour. The camp was run at the Tasmania Police Academy in October, and was featured on Southern Cross TV News.
