This online, CPD-accredited 1-day training course will give learners an increased understanding of the causes, impact and risks associated with CAPVA.

Learning objectives

1. Understand what Child and Adolescent to Parent Violence and Abuse (CAPVA) is and the benefits and limitations of positioning it within a domestic abuse framework.
2. Understand the dynamics of CAPVA and recent research about causes, prevalence and risks.
3. Explore the impact on parents who experience abuse from a child as well as the experiences of young people and adult children using harmful behaviour.
4. Build an understanding of trauma responses in the context of CAPVA and be better able to identify indicators of Child and Adolescent to Parent Violence and Abuse.
5. Develop an understanding of best practice principles when responding to CAPVA including initial risk assessment, safety planning and signposting for specialist support.

This one-day course equips professionals to confidently and effectively engage children and young people who use violence or abuse in family or partner relationships. Traditional approaches often avoid challenging harmful behaviour, but this training provides practical tools to address it safely while maintaining trust and engagement.

Participants will learn how to build rapport, promote personal accountability, and have constructive conversations that encourage reflection and positive attitude change. The course also helps professionals identify and connect young people with the right specialist support, enabling earlier intervention.

This session will enable participants to:

• Gain an increased knowledge of young people who use violence and abuse in family and partner relationships.
• Increase confidence to build rapport and engagement while also developing personal accountability.
• Know how to approach the issue of harmful behaviour with a young person to support effective safety planning and risk management.
• Identify services to signpost young people using harmful behaviours to, so they can access specialist support.

There is a rising visibility of online misogyny and growing evidence of the influence of high-profile online figures on boys' attitudes and behaviour.

Practitioners will leave this course equipped to recognise the warning signs, respond with confidence, and build the protective factors that keep boys safe.

• Recognise indicators and risk factors associated with teenage relationship abuse, including intersecting barriers to support.
• Develop skills in risk assessment, safety planning and effective multi-agency approaches to safeguarding.
• Feel more confident to respond to young people being harmed and those who cause harm.
• Reflect on ways to promote safer, healthier and more resilient relationships for young people.

The RYPP is an evidence-based, whole-family intervention designed to help families heal from CAPVA (Child/Adolescent to Parent Violence and Abuse). The intervention follows the trauma recovery model, establishing a foundation of safety in the home first, to allow guided relationship-building between parent and child to take place.

It's unique in that it addresses teen relationship abuse from two angles: first, helping young people avoid abusive relationships by increasing awareness and second, by helping them to stop.

This 1-day course provides further support to RYPP practitioners delivering the programme to neurodivergent young people. Each participant receives a resource pack with additional content designed to increase understanding and engagement.
