Responding to Colleagues Experiencing Domestic Abuse
“So, for me, if you are a colleague of someone who you believe is being abused, ask them, say you will help. They may deny the abuse, say they don’t need help, but your offer will make them stronger in many ways"
Training & Coaching Opportunities
We have arranged various workshops and training opportunities specifically for managers.
'The CORE training has impacted significantly on how I think about DA in the conferences I chair. I am struck by how the training has helped me reframe how I think about perpetrator behaviours and survivor responses. I am so pleased that I attended the training and will be encouraging others to access it as well' Child Protection Chair
