This full-day training will support professionals to develop their understanding of domestic abuse and build confidence in recognising and responding to those affected.

The training will cover:
·         Understanding domestic abuse and coercive control
·         Recognising the tactics used by perpetrators
·         Exploring barriers to disclosure and accessing support
·         Understanding and responding to risk
·         Developing trauma-responsive approaches to practice

In addition to increasing knowledge and awareness, the event provides an excellent opportunity to network with colleagues from organisations across the city, share learning, and strengthen partnership working in support of victims and survivors.
This training is free to attend and forms part of the city's wider programme of activities aimed at raising awareness and promoting collective action to end violence against women and girls.
