Event description
Intimate Partner Violence: Understanding Controlling Coercive Behaviour
Course description
This training increases participants’ understanding of intimate partner violence and coercive controlling behaviour.
Coercive control is often described by women as the worst part of intimate partner violence and is also a known predictor or precursor of family violence related homicide. Identifying coercive control and understanding the practical implications for those who experience it, will enable practitioners to provide effective support and responses.
This workshop broadly covers aspects of coercive control, the dynamics and frameworks, and how to recognise and understand the impacts for women and their children. The tactics used by perpetrators of coercive control will also be explored in detail.
Post-separation risks, response and support with safety planning will also be covered along with an overview of current criminal law responses.
On completion of this workshop participants will understand the complexities of intimate partner violence and coercive controlling behaviours and will have the skills and tools to support clients to make informed choices about their safety and ability to safeguard their children.
Who should attend?
This training is suitable for professionals, practitioners, support and refuge workers, advocates, and staff working in health, child protection, police and justice and other sectors who work regularly with clients who are at risk of, or experiencing family and sexual violence.
