Last week saw us in Northern Ireland, delivering training to social workers, domestic abuse organisations and DHR Chairs in Belfast & Derry on âThe Voice of the Child in DHRsâ. If you would like to find out more about our training please contact [email protected]



Facilitated by AAFDA, today relevant national policing leads, the VKPP Vulnerability Knowledge & Practice Programme team, the Dame Nicole Jacobs office and Home Office leads heard first hand from families bereaved by domestic abuse related suicide & were able to tell them about work to improve responses.
