Overview

Please read this guidance joining the sessions.

Domestic abuse (DA) can be an emotive subject. We have carefully and sensitively chosen the content and materials used in our lesson plans.

The discussions and the direction will be steered by yourselves, the students.

However, if for any reason you find any of the information or discussions upsetting, please take a break and re-join when you feel ready.

Staff will be available to support you if or when needed.

Confidentiality 

Information disclosed will be kept confidential unless we feel you or others may be at risk of harm.

If there is the risk of harm, information will be shared with appropriate professionals who can help and support.
