Training Description

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 behaviours 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 behaviours, and the impacts to the victim/survivors, as part of professional practice.

Learning Outcomes

1. Identify and analyse coercive and controlling behaviours and the implications for safeguarding and protection
2. Consider the implications for practice of adopting a coercive control framework to identify and respond to domestic abuse
3. Raise awareness of the importance of the use of language when considering the experience of control and coercion
4. Explore the concept of “space for action” and how professionals can positively impact a victim/survivor
5. Identify legislation relevant to coercive control, its elements, and impacts
6. Consider the normalisation of coercive control within culture
