Domestic abuse happens in every community and is one of society’s most devastating crimes, severely impacting lives of millions of survivors and their children in the UK and across the globe every year.
It is incredibly difficult for survivors to disclose their experiences of abuse and without training, it can be difficult to know how to respond. Your response matters. With barriers on both sides it is essential that we understand domestic abuse to be “everyone’s business” and that everyone has the ability to recognise abuse, respond appropriately to survivors and refer them to local domestic abuse services.
This is why training is so important – it can transform the survivor journey, improve service provision and contribute to the early intervention and prevention of abuse.
At Safer Places we have a range of training courses and qualifications available, from short 3 hour sessions to Level 3 and 4 accredited qualifications enabling you to work with those at the highest risk of domestic abuse and stalking. We also work alongside businesses and organisations, catering to your individual needs to give you and your teams the tools, skills and confidence to respond to survivors and gain an in-depth understanding of perpetrator typologies and interventions to break the cycle of abuse.
