The Domestic Abuse Commissioner has called for mandatory levels of coercive-control training for all social workers, following a BBC News report that more than a third of accredited university social work courses in England are not teaching specific training on coercive control: https://lnkd.in/e8qw8T9n.   It is essential that professionals across a range of systems, including social care workers, are equipped with the knowledge, skills and confidence to respond to domestic abuse, including identifying and engaging those who cause harm in effective perpetrator responses. This is why we are calling for a cross-government, whole-system response to perpetrators that centres adult and child victim-survivors, including a specific recommendation for the Department for Education to produce a strategy setting out its plans to improve the children’s social care response to perpetrators, alongside a workforce development plan to equip children’s social care professionals with the skills, knowledge and confidence to do so.    Read more about our Call for Further Action to Strengthen the Response to Perpetrators here: https://lnkd.in/eWuY2aNz.

The Drive Partnership and Respect UK have launched a new training course, Culturally Competent Work with Perpetrators of Domestic Abuse. This training was created through working with professionals with lived experiences across the sector. The first sessions will take place from 24 to 25 September 2024. This course will encourage participants to actively reflect on culture and cultural competency and will increase understanding on how to engage with perpetrators from any background or culture. Learners will interrogate cultural biases and barriers that feed into practice, and they will learn and practice how to navigate and respond to cultural and religious justifications for abuse. Participants will learn how to understand, work with and across different cultures. They will also consider the diverse ways in which culture influences practice. EDI (Equality, Diversity and Inclusion) is a key part of the Respect Standard, and this training covers how to meet this standard. Sign up now at https://lnkd.in/eJQwMPBf

We join The Drive Partnership in calling on the Government to strengthen responses to perpetrators of domestic abuse through:  - Long-term, strategic investment in perpetrator responses and ongoing evaluation. - A full range of specialist service provision available across all areas – to match the scale of the problem and meet the needs of all communities. - Consistent and evidence-informed multi-agency responses to high-risk, high-harm perpetrators. - A cross-government, whole-system response to perpetrators, which centres adult and child victim-survivors.   To find out more, read a #CallforFurtherAction here: https://lnkd.in/eWuY2aNz
