This free online seminar for sport and activity organisations will explore the changing landscape of domestic abuse.
Five years after the pandemic, the domestic abuse arena has changed. People are experiencing new forms of abuse, or the types of abuse have developed in such a way that people struggle to understand just what is happening to them.
This online seminar will explore why the way that we talk about domestic abuse matters, and how we can make a difference if we get this right.
