Supporting Older Victims of Abuse

Older victims of domestic abuse are often tend to be called 'hidden' victims, this does not mean that abuse does not happen but older people are less likely to seek help. This training session will give you an understanding of the types and prevalence of abuse committed against older people, the barriers they face to access support and the differences between elder abuse, stressed caregiver syndrome and domestic abuse. By the end of the session you will be able to confidently support survivors.
Financial and Economic Abuse

Financial and economic abuse are common ways that an abuser exerts control over a survivor. This session will help you to understand the dynamics of financial and economic abuse, the impact they have and the criminal and civil remedies available to survivors. By the end of the session you will be confident to help someone who has suffered, or is at risk of suffering financial or economic abuse.
Domestic Abuse and Safety Planning

Safety and support planning is one of the most important things that we can do with survivors. This training session will give you an understanding of how to safety plan within a community response model, understand the roles of MARAC and MAPPA, and how to respond to a survivor in an emergency situation. By the end of the training session you will be confident in safety planning with survivors for a number of different scenarios.
Domestic Abuse Awareness

It can be difficult to know how to respond when someone tells you that they are experiencing domestic or sexual abuse, but your response is important and knowing how to respond safely is key. This course will help you develop your understanding of domestic abuse and give you the confidence to recognise and respond to abuse, being a vital source of support for survivors.
J9 Disclosure Scheme

J9 is named in memory of Janine Mundy, a mother of two, killed by her estranged husband in June 2003 whilst on police bail.

At the end of the course you can display the J9 logo so survivors know they have a safe space to get help.
Coercive Control

Abuses seek to gain power and control over another person or person. Coercive behaviour is an act or a pattern of acts of assault, threats, humiliation and intimidation or other abuse that is used to harm, punish or frighten their victim. This course will give you an understanding of what coercive control is, an understanding of the coercive control legislation and the role of criminal justice agencies in applying this and how to support survivors.

Supporting Younger victims of Domestic Abuse

Young people are more likely to experience domestic and sexual abuse than any other age group. Ensuring young people receive specialist support is vital so their specific needs are met in a way that works for them. This course will give you an understanding of the dynamics of domestic abuse and how young people tend to experience abuse differently. By the end of the training session you will be able to spot the signs of abuse and have the confidence to respond to survivors.
Tech Abuse

As new technologies and social media platforms are created, they also begin to be used as a monitoring or harassment tool by abusers. This training will help you to understand how abusers use technology to perpetrate abuse, the risk this poses to survivors and how to effectively safety plan against these methods of abuse. By the end of the training session you will also be able to identify protective technologies and how to incorporate this into safety planning with survivors.
