Asking about and responding to domestic violence and abuse

Webinar recording – 24 January 2020

Watch this webinar to find out more about using NICE guidance to improve support for people who have experienced domestic violence and abuse and their children.

Social workers are in a key position to identify and help stop domestic violence and abuse. They can do this by recognising the indicators of abuse, talking to people about it and offering support and referral for protection if needed.

Even experienced social workers can find asking about domestic violence and abuse difficult. It requires a lot of skill and understanding to talk to people about their experience, particularly when they are reluctant, or perhaps frightened, to disclose what has happened to them.
