This 2hr remote training provides a team of up to 25 Reps with the tools to signpost and support an employee, and push for policy and procedures that address domestic abuse and support those who are impacted.

We are in the process of setting up quarterly recorded briefings for all those who train with us, so you can stay connected and get updates long after the training is complete. We’re building a network – come and join us!
