To improve agencies’ understanding of domestic abuse –so that they understand and recognise the complexities and dynamic of domestic abuse and its impact on victims. A programme of domestic abuse multi-agency training will be provided for both voluntary and statutory sector organisations. Training will be audited and for those attending, a sample survey will be used to capture the possible impact of the training on the individual’s perception and understanding of domestic abuse and of how this will impact on their work role.
