Domestic & Sexual Abuse
You’ll learn about domestic abuse and coercive control, how they intersect with sexual violence, and how to respond to and support those affected.
This training is designed for all organisations and employees, as well as anyone seeking an in-depth understanding of domestic abuse, while building the skills and confidence to prevent it and respond effectively.
1 in 4 women and 1 in 6 men will experience domestic abuse in their lifetime, yet many people fear speaking out and never receive the support they deserve.
