HCA - Identifying and Responding to Coercive Control - Online
This course is an introductory session and the the first of 3 training courses on Domestic Abuse, aimed at social workers and early help senior practitioners.
Please book yourself onto the 2-day training course on "Domestic Abuse: Engaging with families, assessing risk and supporting change - promoting critically reflective practice" and the DASH checklist training course.
Learning Outcomes of this session:
- Identify and analyse coercive and controlling behaviours and the implications for safeguarding and protection
- Consider the implications for practice of adopting a coercive control framework to identify and respond to domestic abuse
- Raise awareness of the importance of the use of language when considering the experience of control and coercion
- Explore the concept of “space for action” and how professionals can positively impact a victim/survivor
- Identify legislation relevant to coercive control, its elements, and impacts
- Consider the normalization of coercive control within culture
Coercive control predicts domestic homicide 6x more effectively than physical violence (Jane Monckton-Smith).
Coercive control is domestic abuse. Professionals from a variety of agencies are required to identify and respond to coercive control, which requires a thorough understanding of these behaviors and their impacts – possibly more so when there is a lack of physical violence.
This half day session will deconstruct coercive control and provide professionals with a practical means of mapping out coercive and controlling behaviors, and the impacts to the victim/survivors, as part of professional practice.
