This course provides an in-depth understanding of domestic abuse, its manifestations, and safeguarding practices. The course is designed for professionals working with individuals and families affected by domestic abuse, offering practical tools and strategies to support victims and ensure their safety.
It is essential that family practitioners are able to recognise the signs of domestic abuse in the clients they are working with – both within adult relationships and towards children and young people. Resolution wants to ensure that members have the expertise and confidence to respond in all situations of abuse that may feature in their client’s relationship.
For members planning to offer Resolution Together please be aware that you should have attended a Domestic Abuse and Safeguarding course of this nature within the last two years
