About
The Domestic Abuse Act 2021 statutory guidance states that public agencies should invest in awareness raising, specialist training and systems change within their services to ensure that victims receive effective and safe responses and that information about their services reaches the range of different communities and protected groups in their areas.
Somerset Council on behalf of the Safer Somerset Partnership organises a range of training courses – from basic awareness to more specialist courses, with the aim for the effective prevention and response to domestic abuse to be a priority for all agencies. All organisations can have a basic awareness of domestic abuse, which can help provide a shared community understanding of the complexity surrounding the problem.
For more information, practitioners can view the Somerset Domestic Abuse Strategic Learning Framework.
Level one and level two online training (modules)
We offer free domestic abuse training for all professionals working for organisations who operate in Somerset. For organisations operating outside of Somerset, a fee applies.
