WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Social Worker
The trainer was very knowledgeable, and has made me think about how I will work with my cases moving forward, especially where there is coercive and controlling behaviour.
James, Police Officer
The training was useful , especially the questions we could ask around coercive and controlling behaviour. I will definitely explore some more questions on the DARA (Domestic Abuse Risk Assessment) more than I did previously.
Jo, Fitness Instructor
I really enjoyed the course, I learned how to ensure my class feels safe and if someone discloses, how to respond and where to signpost to.
I could really make a difference to the type of support someone goes onto access, thank you.
