VIRTUAL HSCP – An Introduction to Recognising and Responding to Perpetrators of Domestic Abuse

,

This course provides an overview of how to recognise and respond to domestic abuse perpetrators.

It will help professionals identify the signs that someone might be a perpetrator – what might they say and what behaviours might they exhibit.  It will also assist professionals to understand their responsibilities and what constitutes a safe response to the suspicion that someone they encounter in their practice is a domestic abuse perpetrator.

All professionals and volunteers working with children and young people in Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight* may join this free course to improve their knowledge and confidence.
