DV-alert Courses

Domestic and Family Violence Response Training (DV-alert) is designed to build capacity in frontline workers within universal services for whom family violence is not a core function of their role.

• recognise the signs of domestic and family violence

• refer effectively to support services

We are committed to ending violence against women and their children,  dedicated to empowering frontline workers and volunteers to respond confidently to those in crisis.
