Professionals play a vital role in addressing the safety of victims, ensuring children received appropriate support and increasing the controlling person’s accountability – helping families achieve safety more quickly.
This training focusses on building confidence and skills in responding directly to those who cause harm.
Objectives:
- To strengthen professional competencies in challenging harmful behaviours and fostering responsibilities.
- To develop the ability to evaluate a controlling person’s willingness and capacity to change their behaviour.
- To be able to understand the typologies of domestic abuse and the complexities around dual allegations in order to address the safety of victims and their children by receiving appropriate support and increase perpetrator accountability.
- Understand patterns of abuse, coercive control, situational violence and resistance violence to ensure accurate assessments and interventions.
- To navigate dual allegations and identify primary aggressors to ensure appropriate support and safeguarding measures
NB: This training will provide the basic knowledge and skills to be able to have the confidence to start a conversation about someone’s abusive behaviour. It is not a perpetrator programme of work.
