•    What is domestic and family violence
•    Common patterns and behaviours of someone perpetrating domestic and family violence
•    The link between gender inequality and domestic and family violence
•    Why domestic and family violence is a safety issue
•    How to support victim-survivors choices and safety

We aim for you to complete this course feeling empowered to respond confidently and know how to promote the safety of the person you are supporting.
