Training Events
We offer training to a wide range of professionals to help raise awareness about the link between the abuse of people and animals and how to safeguard all victim-survivors. Everyone is welcome, and the training is particularly relevant to veterinary teams, animal welfare teams and people working in domestic abuse and sexual violence services, police, social workers, health workers, housing teams and more.
