Description
Domestic violence and abuse affect countless lives across every community, yet many victims remain unseen, unheard, or unsupported. Understanding how to recognise the signs and respond effectively can make a life-saving difference.
This CPD-accredited Domestic Abuse and Violence Training course by High Skills Training is crafted to provide learners and professionals with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to identify, prevent, and address domestic abuse in all its forms. Whether you work in social care, healthcare, law enforcement, or community support, this online training will help you become an informed advocate for change.
This comprehensive domestic violence training explores the definitions, causes, and dynamics of domestic violence through both historical and modern lenses. You’ll uncover the myths and misconceptions that often silence victims and learn the critical safeguarding roles of professionals in protecting vulnerable individuals.
The domestic abuse training explores various types of abuse, such as physical, emotional, psychological, financial, sexual, coercive control, and digital, alongside the devastating effects they have on victims and their children. Additionally, you’ll gain insights into the cycle of abuse, risk assessment methods, and effective safety planning for individuals and families at risk.
Moreover, learners will also examine the impact of domestic violence on mental health, explore child protection procedures, and understand the legal framework in the UK, including the Domestic Abuse Act 2021, protection orders, and the MARAC process. The role of Independent Domestic Violence Advisors (IDVAs) and best practices in multi-agency collaboration are covered in depth in this domestic violence and abuse course.
Our domestic violence training course also includes specialist areas such as elder abuse, forced marriage, honour-based violence, FGM, and the intersection of substance misuse and mental illness with domestic abuse.
