This one-day course is for workers and volunteers from all sectors who want to understand the impact of domestic violence and abuse on people in same sex relationships, and be able to support them safely and effectively.

Equation’s extensive training programme is at the core of our support for our community workers and is supported and subsidised by Nottingham Crime and Drugs Partnership. To enable all workers to access our training courses we will provide them for FREE for Nottingham City workers. However, if your organisation provides you with a training budget we ask for a suggested donation of £20 which will enable our charity to cover the processing and administration costs. Thank you.

This one day course will look at:

• Domestic abuse in same sex relationships: exploration of types of abuse and impact
• Additional barriers and complexities that workers need to consider when working with people in same sex relationships
• Additional considerations for support
• Referral pathways and signposting

Prerequisites

Previous attendance on Equation’s Understanding and Responding to Domestic Violence and Abuse (URDVA) training will enhance delegates’ understanding on this course, but it is not compulsory.
