Domestic abuse is a complex and often hidden issue that affects individuals across all communities, backgrounds, and environments. It is not always visible, and many people experiencing abuse may not recognise it themselves or feel able to seek help.
This course has been designed to provide a comprehensive, practical understanding of domestic abuse, focusing not only on awareness but on safe, appropriate responses. Learners will develop the ability to recognise signs of abuse, understand risk factors, and respond in a way that prioritises safety, dignity, and wellbeing.
The course goes beyond theory, equipping learners with real-world strategies, scenario-based understanding, and clear guidance on what to do and what not to do.
