Desert Blue Connect, working alongside the CRE Reference group, have developed and introduced the Community, Respect, & Equality (CRE) Agreement for organisations and businesses in Geraldton to collectively say that #ViolenceIsNEVEROk in our community.

The CRE Agreement requires organisations and businesses to endorse the CRE Agreed Values and Codes of Behaviour and commit to actions in the workplace to prevent family violence.  It is now available for organisations and businesses to read, endorse and take action.

All the information is available on the community, respect and equality website, at https://communityrespectandequality.com.au/  There is a booklet, information flyer, poster, agreed values and codes of behaviour, endorsement certificate and information about family violence for workplaces available for download.

Managers and employees of organisations are encouraged to read the new CRE Agreement online and see what is involved.  Once organisations or businesses sign the endorsement certificate they have 6 months to implement the accreditation actions.  Organisations who sign up will be listed on the CRE website as CRE Agreement endorsees who are working toward actions in their workplace to stop family violence.
