The Changing Landscape of Domestic Abuse

Share This Post

In October 2019 a one-day conference entitled, ‘The Changing Landscape of Domestic Abuse – a Multiagency Perspective’ was organised by the School of Health and Science which first established the 13-week ‘Certificate in the Fundamentals of Understanding and Responding to Domestic Abuse’ in September 2016. The conference was organised in conjunction with the Department of Justice & Equality, Social Services and Tusla and brought together more than 250 delegates from relevant front-line agencies such as specialist domestic abuse support services , Education, An Garda Síochána, the Health Service Executive and the Probation Service to share insights and knowledge. Programme graduates also shared valuable insights in relation to the difference the programme has made to their practice.
