  • impacts of domestic abuse on children – neurological development, attachment, social learning and family dynamics
  • domestic abuse risk and vulnerability assessment from the family law perspective
  • skills in working with the non-abusing partner to protect themselves and their child/ren - safety planning and motivational work
  • skills for engaging & assessing perpetrators and motivating them to take up further services
