About this Event
Behind the Signs: What Are We Missing?
Recognising abuse. Challenging assumptions. Rethinking responses.
As part of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, VFC invites professionals to come together for an interactive morning of learning, discussion and reflection.
How do we recognise when something isn't right? What might we overlook? And how can our responses make a difference?
Through practical discussions and shared learning, we'll explore the signs of abuse, question assumptions and consider how we can better support women and girls experiencing violence.
This isn't about having all the answers. It's about being willing to ask better questions.
Who should attend?
Professionals working in safeguarding, social care, health, education, housing, policing, domestic abuse services and community organisations.
