Since it is often difficult for women to leave their homes, due to controlling relationships and the impact of COVID-19, the online webinar is an optimal learning platform which will reach a greater number of vulnerable individuals than the traditional face-to-face mode. We will pilot a series of online webinars to deliver a structured financial literacy program to women experiencing or escaping coercive controlling relationships. The 3 main foundations of good financial literacy are: Relevance Interaction and Repetition and attention to these themes will maximise impact in regard to retention and learning outcomes. Suitable measures are then converted to an on-line mode and tested for effectiveness in meeting the needs of stakeholders. Measures identified in the literature are matched to a set of criteria to ascertain their suitability as a detection tool within the context of early intervention DV support services operating in the Australian community. The aim of this research is to identify a generic measure of coercive control that is easy to use and suitable for public policy and DV support services. A better understanding of this type of behavior and how it is measured will guide policy makers, law enforcement agencies and support services in their endeavor to proactively introduce early intervention programs.

The term coercive control is increasingly used in the context of domestic violence to explain a particular set of controlling behaviours that are used to regulate the actions of an intimate partner.
