And many more.

If you would like to arrange an awareness-raising talk for your group please contact us. This is usually free.

We feel it is very important that domestic abuse is valued as a priority in service development and delivery in every field of work as it is a social issue which can affect anyone; you might not be directly supporting victims but you may be working alongside someone who is experiencing abuse. Equally, in your private life you may have a relative or friend affected by abuse.

To develop your skills in supporting those affected by domestic abuse we can provide the following for an affordable fee:

• Hourly/daily certificated training for individuals or small groups
• Attendance-certificated training for professionals (usually group-based). Highly recommended for GPs/NHS staff, Police and IDVAs/ISVAs, welfare support workers, social workers, midwives & health visitors.
• Professional Development
