FAQs

What level training is this course?

Since the implementation of Safeguarding Partnerships, most sectors have moved away from using the term ‘levels’. The expectation is that you will undertake training which is relevant to the role you take in the organisation.


What is the difference between face-to-face and live virtual training options?

As far as possible, our training is as close to being the same as they can be! All the required content is covered to the highest standard, and we aim to keep as much interaction and engagement in all of our sessions as we do in our face-to-face training.

Face-to-face is our preferred method of training, but we know this is not always possible so have made our live virtual and pre-recorded courses available so you don’t have to miss out on being able to access our courses.


Do I need this training for my role?

It is best practice to complete domestic abuse training annually in order to understand the risks posed to children and vulnerable adults.


Will I receive a certificate?

You will receive a PDF certificate for attending our training sessions. Domestic Abuse Awareness Training with ECP is CPD certified. You need to ensure you are available and engaged for the full duration of the training session in order to receive your certificate.


How far in advance can I book the training?

You can book your training as far in advance as you like! Some times of the year are especially busy so we advise you book up to a year or more in advance, especially if there is a specific date and time you would like to secure. If you know your training will be up for renewal the sooner you get the training date confirmed the more likely ECP will have availability to deliver your training.


How many people can attend the training?

The maximum number of delegates that can attend this training course is 20.

If you have more than 20 delegates who need this training, please contact us in advance.


How do I book this training?

What information will I need in order to make a booking?

Once the booking form is submitted, we will contact you if we have any further questions.


Reviews

Honour based violence information was really useful as my prior knowledge was very minimal. The training was very informative, the content kept you interested and engaged.


I learned a lot about domestic violence and how to recognise. I am feeling more confident with dealing with these kinds of situations. I liked how interactive the course was.


This training is the best domestic training session I’ve have. Very empowering and informative. Very good trainer, who made us feel welcome.


I am more confident to deal with DA especially with having a more structured approach to recognising and referring.
