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.
Please be advised there is online training on the subject which is ‘Domestic Abuse E-Learning’ this can be accessed through the Surrey Skills Academy platform for online training via the link above, to access the training you will need to register first which requires a registration code which is SSA1234 (case sensitive).

Because Carers Count Training
This popular multi agency introductory course provides 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. At this training session, you will also get to hear more about the new national Carers Action Plan 2018 to 2020 which builds on the national Carers Strategy and Care Act 2014.
Who should attend?
“Because Carers Count” is open to anyone working with carers (including young carers and parent carers) from a variety of professional backgrounds and experience. This can include managers or planners of services, front line staff working in health or social care or education or people more indirectly involved. All can gain a greater understanding of carers’ issues and what our legal responsibilities are to carers in the light of recent legislation and guidance.
Please find the attached flyer here for information and application.
Think Carer, Think Family Training
This workshop gives practitioners across the health and social care statutory, independent and voluntary sector the opportunity to consider together how to support carers of all ages by developing a whole family, personalised and strengths based approach.
Commissioners, practitioners and providers have important duties with regards to Carers of all ages which are outlined within the Care Act 2014, The Children & Families Act 2014, the Health and Social Care Act 2012, NHS England Commitment to Carers 2014, and the most recently Government’s Carers Action Plan 2018-20 and NHS (England) Long Term Plan 2019. CQC also require evidence of carer and family involvement in their key lines of enquiry.
National and local policies and guidance also emphasise the importance of ensuring there is ‘no wrong door’ for young carers and that whoever or however a family in need comes into contact with an organisation, that a common approach and pathway is followed so as to ensure young people are protected from caring roles that impact upon their life chances.
It is therefore vital everyone delivering health and social care support understands how to meet their legal and local practice responsibilities to both adult and young carers.
Appropriate for: Practitioners from across the statutory, independent and voluntary sector who have contact with carers, young carers and the wider family in their health and social care practice.
