NT Department of Correctional Services (NTDCS) has joined forces with No More, a local Territorian initiative against family violence.

NTDCS will today sign a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with No More to join its campaign to promote activities addressing family violence.

Prominent local ABC broadcaster Charlie King and NTDCS Commissioner Mark Payne will sign the MOU. Charlie King founded the  No More organisation 10 years ago.

The No More campaign calls on men, both as individuals and groups, to stand up and take ownership for finding a solution to family violence. 

The No More campaign initially focused on Indigenous communities but has since developed a strong engagement with the sporting community, emphasising the importance of role modelling good behaviour through sport.  The campaign asks sportsmen to accept a responsibility to lead through example.

No More has developed links to more than 100 clubs across five different sports codes.

No More’s Domestic Violence Action plan, a statement of commitment by participating organisations, has also been embraced by Sydney NRL club, the Parramatta Eels, underlining the campaign’s recent expansion into a nation-wide movement.

The No More campaign is supported by the Federal Department of Social Services, the ABC and the Northern Territory Government.

NTDCS will launch its involvement with the No More campaign at a signing ceremony followed by a workshop at NTDCS head office tomorrow at 12 noon.
