Domestic Abuse Training FAQs
Over the past couple of weeks, we have been highlighting why we believe businesses and organisations should be playing an active role in tackling domestic abuse.
This has covered the benefits of having training around domestic abuse, the importance of policy and procedures, as well as looking at the physical and financial costs that domestic abuse can have.
We know that this may be an issue that many businesses have not considered before, which is why we have produced a list of some of the Frequently Asked Questions around our training.
My business is interested in booking training, which staff members should attend?
Our training is perfect for Human Resources team members, Equality and Diversity teams, as well as line managers and managers. Whilst it is not limited to these roles, these roles will support many members of staff and need to be able to identify issues relating to domestic abuse. Awareness of domestic abuse benefits everyone in the organisation.
Is the training online or in-person?
Both! We have adapted our sessions to deliver these either online or in-person, allowing us to be flexible to fit around your needs.
Do you offer bespoke training sessions?
Yes, we are always happy to work with businesses and organisations to deliver sessions that are specifically tailored to best meet your needs. This can include specific areas of focus most relevant to your business, short awareness briefings, or comprehensive training covering issues such as workplace harassment.
What makes Leeway’s training unique?
Our training is practical, locally relevant, and designed to be engaging. We don’t just deliver theory – we provide tools your team can use immediately, supported by real-world scenarios.
Can Leeway support our organisation with policies and procedures around domestic abuse?
Yes, we are happy to support businesses to draft policies and procedures around domestic abuse. We believe that this will help to provide a solid foundation for your business to work from when it comes to responding to domestic abuse.
Do you offer taster sessions of your training?
We do sometimes hold taster sessions, which briefly cover some key topics and give a flavour of what our full training packages entail. Our next free taster session is on Tuesday 30th September, exclusively for Norfolk Chambers of Commerce members!
I’ve already received domestic abuse awareness training a while ago; do you offer refresher courses?
We are happy to work with businesses again to refresh their training around domestic abuse. Just like many over training courses, such as first aid training, data protection, and health and safety, refreshing your knowledge is beneficial.
Do you offer any discounts?
We currently offer a 20% discount for charitable organisations.
