Training for Professionals

Our partnership & training services

Supporting partners with training

Our training equips professionals working with victims and survivors of domestic abuse to respond with confidence, compassion and a trauma-informed approach.

Co-delivered by experts by experience, our sessions provide deeper insight into the realities of domestic abuse, how it is experienced, and the complex needs of those affected.

 

We focus on building practical, trauma-informed skills that enable professionals to deliver more effective, responsive services – improving outcomes for survivors while helping teams work more efficiently and reduce time spent navigating complex cases.

Our training also explores the impact of trauma on individuals and families, while supporting professionals to recognise and protect their own wellbeing, including reducing the risk of vicarious trauma.

Experts by Experience

All of our training is co-developed and co-delivered with Experts by Experience – people who have lived through domestic abuse and choose to use their voices to improve understanding and practice.

Our Experts by Experience are fully supported by Future Living Hertford to share their stories safely and meaningfully. By placing lived experience at the heart of our work, we help shape better services, challenge assumptions and drive positive change for survivors now and in the future.

Training can be delivered at Vale House or at a venue of your choice, and can be tailored to fit the time you have available. However, we recommend a full-day session to allow the greatest opportunity for meaningful discussion, reflection and constructive challenge.
