We recognise that knowledge about domestic abuse is key to responding to it effectively. With decades of experience delivering training to partners across the criminal justice system, the police, health services, housing associations, social care, local authorities and community and faith groups, we offer robust training options to ensure staff are equipped with the skills they need to respond to survivors effectively and safely. We can also help organisations set up or review their domestic abuse training offer to their staff, ensuring that employees receive the best training possible.
