Domestic Abuse Champions are crucial in our effort to recognise and support those experiencing domestic abuse.
Poorly handled interventions can potentially make the situations worse and could mean people stay longer in the abusive relationship.
Reducing the Risk is dedicated to up-skilling everybody in the workforce.
Fantastically well thought out course. Lovely trainers who instead of just reading from slides made it ‘human’ and allowed for conversation to form part of the training. Great networking opportunity. Friendly and welcoming. Trauma informed and aware.
RtR TrainingShe supported me at court and even looked after my son whilst I did the pre-trial visit. I couldn’t have done any of this without her support.
IDVA ServiceThe Senior Court IDVA was helpful at every step of the way with this extremely difficult case and without her I would not have been able to do this and understand all the court procedures.

IDVA ServiceTranslated from Urdu: You saved my life, if you didn’t find me when you did then I would be dead. Without you I didn’t know anything. I didn’t know how to access help. Thanks to you I am alive today and I pray for you all every day.
IDVA ServiceI thought it was a great introduction to the topic and provided opportunities for further reading to increase understanding. I think every organisation should be required to attend sessions like these to increase awareness.
RtR TrainingExcellent information. Delivered really well. Really thought provoking. Social workers should do this training
