About this Event
Cumberland Council and Westmorland & Furness Council, in partnership with SafeLives, are offering the training opportunity to complete ‘Responding Well’ Domestic Abuse Training.
SafeLives are a UK-wide charity dedicated to ending domestic abuse, for everyone and for good. They are independent, practical and evidence-led, with survivor voice at the heart of our thinking. They work with organisations across the UK to transform the response to domestic abuse.
This face-to-face training is free to all professionals and the sessions will last a full day.
The learning outcomes are:
• Define Domestic Abuse with an update on the DA Act 2021 and the changes to current practice/legislation.
• Ensure a thorough understanding of controlling and coercive behaviour and how abusive relationships develop.
• Explore typologies of abuse using Michael Johnson’s model and consider how this impacts our assessment of risk and intervention for families.
• Understand the importance of risk assessment- using tools such as the SafeLives DASH (as specific to Cumbria which uses a combined DASH) but also our professional judgement
• Identify how trauma impacts survivors and how we can work in a more trauma-informed way.
• Understand best practice when working with those impacted by DA and how to use our knowledge of DA to respond in a non-victim-blaming way.
