Sexual Respect: Confident and Effective Facilitation (29.10.24)


Training course overview

The sexual respect module of a Domestic Violence Perpetrator Programme is a particularly challenging one to deliver. This hands-on, CPD certified, 1-day course will give Facilitators the confidence and skills to deliver this module safely and effectively.

The training will equip participants with a thorough understanding of the sexual respect module and best practice for delivering it. 

This course is interactive and uses a range of media, practical exercises, and discussions to give participants a "toolkit" of skills and knowledge based on evidence-based practice and recent theory. The course also aims to give practitioners of all levels increased confidence in facilitating this module. It is particularly suitable for experienced staff to complement more general group facilitation training courses they may already have attended.
