Training overview

Workshops for Cops (WFC) is a variety of training workshops for those working within the Police to address the needs and knowledge gaps identified in relation to domestic abuse response.

WFC were cocreated by SafeLives, professional experts and those with lived experience of domestic abuse to complement DA Matters training and to keep survivor voice central to training outcomes. The workshops are delivered jointly by a subject matter expert and a experienced trainer with policing background.

Both trainers were excellent and brought a wealth of knowledge and experience to the subject matter.
