Our ‘Working with families impacted by domestic abuse’ course is ideal for frontline professionals who work with multiple members of a family where domestic abuse is occurring.
Throughout the sessions, learners will explore the different dynamics of domestic abuse, with a focus on how non-physical forms of abuse can manifest.
The course aims to help professionals make accurate and trauma-informed assessments of the dynamics of abuse within a household and learn how to work effectively with the abusive parent, non-abusive parent, and children.
Learners will also understand the importance of multi-agency working to ensure that families get appropriate and effective support.
Learners will engage with discussions, case studies and skills practice to ensure they are ready to apply the learning to their real-world practice.
