Training

When we ask survivors what they think are priorities for changing the way domestic abuse support is designed and delivered, ‘domestic abuse training for professionals’ always comes top of the list!

Training Matters

Until domestic abuse training is mandatory for key professionals, VOICES will continue to develop and offer specialist, experience-based training designed to improve the way those who have experienced domestic abuse are supported. Our training is trauma informed, recovery focused and person-centred, and based on a whole picture, whole systems approach. We can provide workshops, awareness sessions and longer courses. All our training work builds on the insights of those with lived experience and is co-created with survivors.

Training offers in 2022

Building on our trauma & recovery expertise and training experience to date, VOICES will be developing training offers through 2022, available in person or remotely. These will include packages for health and social care workers, police, probation and other legal services, education professionals; voluntary services and local councils.

Bespoke training

We can also provide bespoke training to meet your individual or workplace needs.

What our clients say

Voices have changed my life completely. I have gone from being a victim feeling frightened of the world and nervous of everything to a strong and powerful woman with much more knowledge. My journey hasn’t finished and I still have obstacles to overcome but voices have changed my life in so many ways that I will forever be thankful for everything.

Jane

It’s given me the hope that I can heal and move on. I don’t have to be a victim and let what has happened dominate my life. It’s giving me a safe place to be vulnerable and heal where there is no judgement but compassion and support. I don’t feel like I’m crazy anymore as voices get it they understand just what the abuse does to people and I no longer feel so alone.

Emma

Voices have shown me that I'm not alone, but more than that, I have people around me who truly understand my experiences and are able to listen without judgement, question or disbelief. Every time I speak within any session connected to Voices, I know I am heard and actually listened to. This is so powerful after years of being silent and having no voice or opinion.

Bella

Voices have helped me to have the strength to keep going, through the hardest and most unsurvivable of times. My whole family are grateful to Voices: you are a battalion of angels, who work truly and tirelessly, to make safe lives happen.
