Domestic Abuse: Responding to the Whole Family
Getting to grips with assistance and accountability
Date: Tuesday 1st December 2015
Venue: Friends House, Kings Cross, (Directions)
Domestic abuse interventions have been evolving to address the increasingly complex and challenging needs of families.
Our Network’s 13th conference will showcase some of the exciting and innovative work going on around the country to respond to the themes that are emerging.
We will explore both assistance and accountability across three important strands: child to parent violence and abuse; proactive engagement with perpetrators; and, integrating specialist domestic abuse support into ‘Troubled Families’ work.
Join us to listen, challenge, critique, network and be inspired!
