Courses in Wales: Domestic Abuse Awareness & Continuous Professional Development 2009 - 2010

Welsh Womens Aid has developed a suite of accredited continuing professional development units, which offer the opportunity for individuals from all walks of life to gain an understanding about domestic abuse.

A number of accredited units have been prepared to raise awareness of domestic abuse, its impact and effects on those who experience it.

There are also units which focus on where services sit within strategic frameworks, in national and local contexts, as well as how organisations work together to support those who experience domestic abuse.

These units are available at varying levels and sit within the Credit and Qualifications Frame Work and are credit based learning units.
