The Need for Awareness is Real
- 1 in 4 women and 1 in 6 men will experience domestic violence at some point in their lives.
- Domestic abuse accounts for 16% of all violent crimes in the UK.
- 75% of victims of domestic abuse suffer physical and psychological consequences.
The Domestic Abuse Act 2021 strengthens legal protections and sets out clear definitions of domestic abuse, including coercive, psychological and economic abuse. However, laws alone are not enough. Without awareness and trained individuals who can recognise and respond appropriately, many victims will not receive the support they are entitled to.
This course helps you build that awareness and understand your role in helping others access safety and support.
