Family and domestic violence (FDV) is a widespread and serious issue that can affect anyone - including the people you interact with at work. Despite its significant impacts on physical health, mental wellbeing and safety, FDV is often hidden and difficult to recognise. For this reason, we all need to be aware of the signs that someone may be experiencing abuse or mistreatment.

This Training Module will equip you with the knowledge needed to understand, recognise and respond to FDV in the workplace in an appropriate and trauma-informed way, with the aim of enabling those affected by FDV to access appropriate support.
