Housing professionals can empower their customers to understand what legal tools and powers are available to survivor/victims of domestic abuse. Housing professionals should ensure that all action is survivor-led and part of a coordinated response that includes the specialist domestic abuse service.
This course will enable housing professionals to discuss a range of legal powers and protective measures that can be put in place when a customer is being subjected to domestic abuse. The training is centred on the understanding that all action should be survivor-led and that housing can play a critical role in helping their customers know what options are available to them.
Delegates will discuss a range of protective options and consider the pros and cons of different interventions available. This course recognises that the housing professional will generally not be the person who puts these measures in place and encourages partnership working with specialist domestic abuse services and the police.
Delegates will receive a bespoke resource that reflects the content of the course, including a flow chart of best practices in supporting delegates to have discussions with their customers.
