We offer a wide range of training opportunities, drawing on our 35 years’ experience of working with women, children and young people affected by domestic abuse. We offer specific training to our members, women's aid groups, as well as offering learning opportunities for practitioners and policy makers. 

For people wanting to study at university level, we have collaborated with Queen Margaret University to develop a module on Gender Justice, Masculinities and Violence. This work has been carried out with the support of the Scottish Government as part of the National Training Strategy on Domestic Abuse.

We can provide training on a commissioned basis, tailored to your organisation. For further information contact Nel Whiting.
