Course summary

In addition to the above, attendance at this course will enable you and your organisation to be better placed to respond to a client who makes a disclosure of domestic abuse and respond accordingly. Since the age of 16, almost 30% of women and 17% of men in England and Wales have experienced some form of domestic abuse (Chaplin et al., 2011). Domestic abuse costs the tax payer an estimated £3.9bn per year (CAADA, 2010; Walby, 2004, 2009). In Cumbria alone the costs total £2.4 billion per annum.
