Project SAFE Needs Assessment |
Introduction
Building on expertise in implementing reforms for justice-involved women locally and advising jurisdictions nationally on this issue, the Center for Court Innovation (CCI), Black Women’s Blueprint (BWB), the National Black Women’s Justice Institute (NBWJI), and Reverend Cheryl Dudley of the American Baptist Churches of Metropolitan New York are creating:
Project SAFE: Services and Fundamental Enhancements for Justice-Involved Women
Project SAFE will provide targeted training and technical assistance to Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) grantees working with justice-involved Black/African-American women who are survivors of intimate partner violence and sexual assault. The project will address the intersectionality of racism and racial bias, poverty, and specific gender-responsive needs of women in the justice system.
The purpose of this questionnaire is to learn about what current trainings, outreach, technical assistance services to sites, materials, and documents exist as well as what types of training, outreach, technical assistance services, materials, and documents would be most helpful to you, your staff or agency, and to the system responders in your community. All responses to this questionnaire will be kept confidential and used solely for development of training and technical assistance for the purposes of Project SAFE. However, if you’d like to identify yourself for follow up, you can do so by answering the designated identification questions.
