A practitioner focused workshop on inclusive, informed responses to domestic abuse and coercive control.

Practitioners working in domestic abuse, safeguarding, health, social care and related fields often want to offer inclusive support but may not feel confident responding to LGBTQIA+ experiences.

This session will cover:

• LGBTQIA+ specific dynamics of domestic abuse

• Identity based abuse and coercive control

• Common barriers to disclosure and support

• Good practice principles for inclusive responses

This workshop is for:

• Domestic abuse practitioners

• Support workers and advocates

• Health, social care and safeguarding professionals

The session is grounded in research and practice.
