Are you involved in frontline services (in the London Borough of Hounslow) advising on gender-based violence, policing, social services, education, health or services which bring you into contact with vulnerable women and girls?

Using casework, legislation and practical sessions this specialist training will enable professionals to acquire an understanding of harmful practices to be able to identify and respond effectively to these practices within the Violence Against Women & Girls framework. At the end of the session, you will be better able to identify harmful practice cases and provide relevant support to clients who have been and/or at risk of harmful practices.

This training is delivered by experienced professionals from Southall Black Sisters in collaboration with MOPAC. It is free of charge and this session will be for half-day only.
