Training for Trainers in Domestic Violence

This 3 day course is run by 2 expert trainers who have been running this as an accredited course through the Open College Network. The course has been continually evaluated and modified. It has also been adapted to meet the needs of individual groups.

The course is specifically for workers who are nominated by their organisations to deliver Domestic Violence Awareness Training within their own agency or department or to be part of a training pool.

Participants will be given the opportunity to:

  • Gain further understanding of Domestic Violence
  • Develop and practise their training skills in a safe environment, including:
    • the ability to include participants’ needs in training
    • to anticipate and deal with difficult situations
  • Gain information of and experience sample programmes and exercises in Domestic Violence Awareness training

Each participant is given individual feedback on their performance on the course. All participants are given a comprehensive training manual and resource pack that will give them a broad range of training exercises of varying length and depth and appropriate handouts for each exercise.
