CPD Accredited Training
At Staffordshire Women’s Aid, we have been delivering CPD-accredited training on Domestic Violence and Sexual Violence for several years, with the aim of creating lasting change in our community through education and strong multi-agency partnerships. This approach is vital, as statistics show that survivors often have a range of additional support needs, including mental health, physical health, substance misuse, and offending, which require coordinated, cross-sector responses.
(Women’s Aid, 2024)
