Safety Planning Caution
This course is designed to raise awareness and increase understanding of the impact of domestic violence on children and young people. It is not a course that will specifically train participants to be specialist domestic violence children's workers.
Examples of best practice will be provided, such as therapeutic techniques and education models. Sample children's programmes will be available for participants to take away as resources.
However, participants who do not have designated responsibility for working directly with children are advised to exercise caution. This course will not create therapeutic children's workers!
