Domestic Abuse Legal Tools and Powers Awareness: Giving Your Customers Choices

This course will enable delegates to discuss a range of legal powers and protective measures that can be put in place when a customer or client is being subjected to domestic abuse. The training is centred on the understanding that all action should be survivor-led and that delegates individuals and organisations as a whole can play a critical role in helping their customers/clients 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 delegates may 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.
