Course overview & eligibility

Our introductory eLearning courses are aimed at a general audience, with zero assumed knowledge about domestic abuse or its specialist terminology. They can serve as the perfect entry point for people who may encounter victims of domestic abuse in their roles, be they frontline medical staff, housing officers or customer service advisors. 

Our eLearning incorporates animations, interactive activities, and knowledge checks to help keep learners engaged; we reinforce learning with a multimedia approach. 

As a clinician working in sexual health, I knew a little about non-fatal strangulation but this training module really brought to light how prevalent and how serious it can be. It has made me reflect on my practice, and has prompted me to ask all patients about NFS rather than just those with clinical signs.

Accessibility

We welcome learners of all backgrounds and abilities. We encourage you to share with us any details on accessibility and diversity needs so we can ensure the right support is in place. You can also contact the training team if you have any queries via [email protected].

I have found working with [SafeLives] straight-forward, professional and enjoyable. You were clear about what you could offer, how the process would work, kept to deadlines and knew what you were talking about around the subject matter of the training. You made it easy to talk through changes…your patience was appreciated.
