Domestic Abuse Training
A message from the Surrey Domestic Abuse Partnership
The Surrey Domestic Abuse Partnership is aware that the measures that the government have taken to reduce the spread of Covid-19 will put survivors of domestic abuse at further risk. Being unable to leave the home will make accessing support even more difficult and being isolated at home with a perpetrator increases the risk of serious harm or worse.
For this reason we are determined that all our services will remain open to support those who need us. We have put contingency plans in place to enable to us to continue running our services and we are working with our partners to develop new working practices and protocols to help us deal with the current crisis.
Our community outreach services are still open to referrals although this service will be delivered remotely and the confidential Your Sanctuary DA Helpline and on-line chat service is available for anybody seeking information or support. The refuge network both in Surrey and across England and Wales are working hard to keep women and their children safe and can be accessed through the Your Sanctuary helpline.
The Government has issued guidance for people who are experiencing, or feel at risk of, domestic abuse.

Dates will be confirmed asap
“BECAUSE CARERS COUNT”
4 Training Events – Via ZOOM 27 Jan / 23 Feb / 15 Mar / 25 Mar – 2021
Due to requests from professionals to continue these popular free training sessions (despite the current Covid period), we are pleased to announce our zoom sessions for 2021!!
This popular multi agency introductory course has been a benchmark for over 22 years, providing a thought provoking insight into the difficulties unpaid carers face in looking after a family member or friend. Although the Care Acts in 2014 put in place stronger duties on both local and health authorities to support carers, latest research reveals there is still some way to go in ensuring carers are recognised and get the support they need. Carers are now facing even greater challenges with the Covid pandemic as they are put under huge pressure to provide more care to their older, sick or disabled family or friends. This is all in the context of the Government passing the Coronavirus Act 2020 and publishing statutory guidance on the Care Act 2014 ‘easements’ and Emergency Measures.
Whether you work in health, social care or the independent/voluntary sector, it is therefore vital to ensure you are Care Act Compliant, keeping up to date with new thinking and best practice in working with carers.
