Mandate domestic violence training for all family court & social workers
We want the Government to mandate accredited training in domestic abuse, coercive control and trauma for all social workers and family-court professionals. We believe national standards must be set to ensure consistent safeguarding and better protection for survivors and children.
Training should be nationally standardised, routinely updated, and required for qualification and ongoing practice. We believe this is needed to improve safeguarding, ensure consistent decisions, and reduce risk to survivors and children.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
