The Government of Jersey, in partnership with Alpha Vesta CIC, is offering a free training webinar for professionals to develop their understanding of perpetrators of domestic abuse and the types of strategies they may use to restrict victim-survivors from accessing support.
This training is designed for professionals who may not have a direct role in supporting victims or perpetrators of domestic abuse but may encounter them in the course of their work. It is particularly relevant for those who wish to build their confidence and understanding of how to recognise, respond to, and appropriately signpost individuals where domestic abuse may be occurring.
