Women’s Aid has organised a two day training on Best Practice in Woman and Child Protection in the context of domestic violence, which is suitable for staff, volunteers and board members looking to enhance individual and/or organisational understanding of and responses to the issue of domestic violence.
Domestic violence awareness training is important to enable understanding of the dynamics of violence against women and children, and to equip participants with the knowledge and skills needed to respond appropriately to individual cases.
Participants will have an increased understanding and information on the following: dynamics of domestic violence; forms of abuse used by perpetrators against women and children; short- and long-term impacts on women and children living with abuse; barriers in accessing support and protection; effective engagement that prioritizes the safety of women and children; supporting the non-offending parent in line with Children First Guidelines; risks involved in engaging with the perpetrator and key practice considerations; and referral options for women and children affected by domestic violence.
This training costs €150 per person.
