Why train, upskill & enhance your knowledge around domestic abuse, coercive control & stalking? To Save Lives!
Having worked in the sector for 14 years I know that domestic abuse charities are not training their staff on stalking, that police are still turning up to 999 calls unsure of what to, how to risk assess and spot the signs of coercive control and stalking. Many agencies/workplaces are failing victims and it’s time to put this right – you may have only one chance - so come and learn how to use that opportunity.

DASH Training
DASH Training - the DASH will identify risk & save lives. Alison is an experienced DASH trainer alongside being a front-line case worker. This has enabled Alison to turn the DASH risk assessment into a trauma-informed 2-way dialogue so that victims get something back from the process and are better supported.
Alison's DASH training therefore is more victim-focused than most DASH training and will ensure that the process benefits victims in multiple ways. S-DAST can provide half-day and full day DASH training.
It's not just taking information but creating a two-way discussion. This DASH training can help empower, support, signpost and safety plan for victims whilst simultaneously identifying risk.
