Domestic Violence and Abuse Awareness Diploma

Want a career where you can step in and help someone who has run out of options? Domestic abuse training gives opportunities in support work, social care, refuges and the police. Domestic abuse is harm caused by a partner, ex, or family member. It happens behind closed doors across the UK. The ONS reports 2.3 million UK adults faced domestic abuse last year.
