If it is possible you will be impacted by this content please bear this in mind before booking and if appropriate consider self care strategies that might be helpful following the session.

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.

Briefing details:

It is recommended practice for Nottingham City practitioners to utilize additional risk considerations when risk assessing LGBT+ survivors. The current risk assessment process for all people experiencing domestic abuse is through the DASH RIC (Domestic Abuse Stalking Harassment Risk Indicator Checklist), it is recognized, however, that for some survivors there will be additional risk considerations. This briefing session explores additional risk factors and considerations for LGBT+ people experiencing domestic abuse.  The aims are:

• To introduce additional risk considerations for LGBT+ survivors of domestic abuse
• To explore how these can be utilized alongside the DASH RIC
• To improve understanding of the needs of LGBT+ survivors of domestic abuse

Please note:  This session is not a general training on Domestic Abuse in Same Sex relationships and will assume an understanding of DASH RIC and MARAC. This briefing session will be of most benefit to workers who have already completed Domestic Abuse Training and DASH RIC/MARAC training or have a prior understanding of DASH RIC and the MARAC process.  It will not provide training on DASH RIC specifically.  

Please note this briefing will not cover legal issues or complexities.

Prerequisites : None
