Strangulation is a common feature of cases involving domestic abuse and coercive control. This course provides an overview of non-fatal strangulation; as a high-risk behaviour and a criminal offence; equipping participants with the tools they need to support victims appropriately and address associated risk and safety concerns.
Aurora New Dawn is a feminist led charity dedicated to ending violence against women and children, and hidden violence. Our frontline services focus on safety, support, advocacy, and empowerment for survivors of domestic abuse, sexual violence and stalking.
We also offer a variety of training programmes suitable for professionals of all levels. Using our experience of delivering successful front-line advocacy and support services over many years, our training places the experiences of victims and survivors at its centre. Focusing on the key principles of safe practice and the importance of multi-agency working, learners will leave the sessions confident to provide initial support to victims and survivors, and able to refer and signpost to ensure that they are supported and protected in the longer term.
Sessions can be delivered virtually or face to face. Bespoke packages are also available
