In workplaces and homes, domestic violence often remains hidden, impacting lives in ways that may go unseen. By recognising the signs and learning how to respond, we can create environments that protect and uplift those affected.

We believe that everyone deserves to feel safe, respected, and supported. This course offers a step-by-step guide to fostering that sense of safety.
What You’ll Learn
Recognising the Signs of Domestic Violence
From unexplained absences to shifts in mood, domestic violence can show up in subtle ways. Learn to recognise behavioural, emotional, and physical signs of distress, including the less visible forms like emotional abuse, financial control, and coercive manipulation.

Responding to someone experiencing domestic violence requires sensitivity. You’ll learn how to communicate with compassion, actively listen, and offer supportive, non-judgmental responses. The course provides guidance on empowering those affected while respecting their choices and privacy.
Accessing Workplace and Community Resources
