Understanding Domestic Violence
Description
This qualification is designed for learners who want to increase their knowledge and understanding of domestic abuse and its impact.
Please note that whilst the course is free, there is a £50 withdrawal/non completion fee if you choose to withdraw from the course.
This qualification is designed to increase learners’ awareness and understanding of domestic abuse and its impact. The need for education and training across sectors to enable identification of abuse, allocation of support and referral is a recurring theme within regional domestic abuse strategies.
Awareness of domestic abuse and its impact is important for those working in a wide range of sectors such as healthcare, social care, childcare, education, and housing. There is a need to understand the issues, report on those who may be at risk and support signposting to relevant services.
