CPD: Responding to victims of sexual violence

About the course

This new course has been developed in conjunction with Janine Roderick, Manager of the Cardiff Sexual Assault Referral Centre (SARC), to build your skills, knowledge and confidence to improve your professional response and make victims of sexual violence safer.

Recent evidence gained through CAADA Insights shows that services are twice as likely to have incomplete information about sexual violence as other types of abuse. This suggests that many practitioners lack the confidence needed to ask their clients about sexual violence.

CAADA qualified IDVAs who attend this training will become qualified ISVAs on successful completion of this course. However, you do not need to be a CAADA qualified IDVA to attend this course.

By attending this course you will experience:

• 3½ days of teaching and ½ day of seminar/tutorial.
• Practical and reflective learning and content.
• Professional training delivered by CAADA's expert trainers and Janine Roderick.
• Guest speakers from CPS, the Police and Zoe Lodrick, a Sexual Trauma Specialist.
• Opportunities to connect and share best practice with other professionals.
• Free practitioner resources.
• Student access to the University of Bath's online library for the duration of the course.

Learners will be expected to undertake up to 76 hours of self study, including preparation for classes, reading, attendance on the course and assignment. To learn more about the specific topics covered by this course, click here.
