Training
Glasgow Women’s Aid has been supporting women, children and young
people who have experienced domestic abuse for over 30 years. As
an organisation we provide information, support and refuge accommo
dation. During this time our service development has been influenced by
the knowledge and experience that we have gained in those years.
This direct experience means that we are in a unique position to raise
awareness around domestic abuse and to provide relevant support and
information.
It is estimated that domestic abuse affects between 1:3 and 1:5 women
at some point in their lives. So there is no doubt that it affects everyone
in some way, either directly or indirectly.
Our Training Worker, Susan Jack, has been in post for 8 years. Her background is in health and education. She has developed and presented bespoke
training to workers from statutory organisations in health, social work, and
education, to police officers, students from all learning backgrounds and
voluntary organisations.
Questions to ask
Do you or your staff, workers or volunteers meet with women
and/or children who are or have experienced
domestic abuse?
Would you feel more confident dealing with those who have
experienced domestic abuse if you had received awareness
training on the subject?
Do you deal with the general public, delivering services or advice
and information?
Could your organisation offer more effective services to the public
if they had received training on domestic abuse?
Does your course cover family dynamics, Human Rights, relationships, women, children and young people, the legal system. If so
domestic abuse awareness, analysis and information is essential.
If you have answered ‘yes’ to any of the above our training is of
use to your organisation/workers/students.
