This specialist training course for professionals working with families impacted by domestic abuse will enable you to assess relationship dynamics, understand the impact on children, and respond appropriately, using a trauma-informed, whole-family approach.

No one should die as a result of domestic abuse. Dash was ground-breaking 15 years ago, but it has never had a Government-led review. SafeLives is calling for urgent reform: a survivor co-created, inclusive update of risk pathways backed by training, resources, and multi-agency action. Survivors deserve a system that protects them — adults and children alike.

SafeLives and the Army Benevolent Fund partner to improve the response to domestic abuse in military families through the creation of a spotlight report, specialist training and a toolkit for professionals.

Sponsored by the Army Benevolent Fund, this specialist training is for domestic abuse professionals supporting victims/survivors in the armed forces. Learn about unique risk factors, military culture, and tailored support pathways.

Understand the various forms of tech abuse, its impact, how to respond appropriately, and how to better protect ourselves online.

The Identification and Referral Pathways training in Scotland will empower practitioners with the confidence to recognise domestic abuse, harm and effectively navigate risk assessment and referral processes.
