^{'The CORE training has impacted significantly on how I think about DA in the conferences I chair. I am struck by how the training has helped me reframe how I think about perpetrator behaviours and survivor responses. I am so pleased that I attended the training and will be encouraging others to access it as well' ~Child Protection Chair}
