“One of the best training days I have been on.”

“Exceeded my expectations of learning. All very helpful and thought provoking. Everything was relevant and useful. I feel better prepared to support and process any disclosures of DV in my work now.”

Awareness Raising Webinars

Raising awareness of domestic abuse and sexual abuse, including challenging common myths and perceptions, and increasing awareness of support services available, is central to effective partnership working and community engagement.

As such we have developed the following interactive online awareness sessions for professionals and community members across Staffordshire:

Sexual Violence Awareness: 1hr Webinar
Sexual Abuse Awareness – Children and Young People: 1hr Webinar
Domestic Abuse and Routes to Safety: 1hr Webinar

“The training has opened my eyes and ignited a passion in me to stand up and campaign more for women in abusive relationships and make a change to societal perceptions of abuse”

“I feel a lot more confident about my overall knowledge and how I could respond to a survivor who shared their experiences with me”
