Understanding Domestic Abuse
This free online domestic abuse course will help you understand the signs and risk factors associated with domestic abuse and domestic violence as well as the impact on children, family members, support service providers, and society.
The aim of the free online domestic abuse course is to increase learners’ awareness and understanding of domestic abuse and its impact. The objective is to support those in the workplace who may work with, support, or interact with people at risk of, or experiencing, domestic abuse.
This online qualification is for anyone who has a responsibility to respond to domestic abuse or support those experiencing domestic abuse.
This includes employers, teachers, health and social care workers, and anyone involved in safeguarding vulnerable adults, children, or young people.
Although it is often an under-reported crime, most cases of domestic abuse are kept hidden.
The Domestic Abuse Act makes prosecuting domestic abuse more straightforward and offers more protection to those who are being abused, but cases still need to be identified and responses need to be effective.
The free online course takes 6-12 weeks to complete.
This is based on 5-10 hours of weekly study.
HM Government fully funds the free course.
No fee, no card details, and no trial periods.
