About the CPD course
This course develops knowledge; understanding and awareness of domestic violence/abuse with a focus on the impact on children and young people. It provides a safe learning space to improve knowledge and understanding of key issues and confidence to respond and improve your work practice. It utilises the original dynamic drama MOCKINGBIRD HIGH; taking participants through the case studies of a mother; her teenage son and teenage daughter. This is accompanied by; interactive activities; group discussions; reflection; and support materials - (providing information on safeguarding children; reporting concerns; responding to disclosures; sharing information and creating a domestic abuse aware workplace.)
We are passionate about using the extraordinary power of original theatre to engage people long-term: in new strategies, cultures and major change. Theatre is an excellent medium for challenging and changing attitudes. Using dynamic original theatre we reveal the dynamic of power and control, enabling audiences to connect with the issues on a personal and emotional level. Helping them ‘experience’ the subject matter and develop a deeper understanding and insight into the complex issues of domestic abuse. Our training provides a unique experience for you, your workforce and your community - a tailored approach with a lasting impact.
