Sessions are age-appropriate, interactive, and designed to empower young people with knowledge and confidence.
This training can also be adapted for college students — particularly those progressing into professional roles such as health and social care — equipping the next generation of practitioners with essential awareness and understanding.

Participants will:

- Develop tools to challenge discriminatory thinking

The session is empowering, reflective, and highly relevant to today’s social climate.
Feedback from an education setting:
“I really appreciated how active and on the ball ***** was when delivering such valuable content, especially considering everything happening in society at the moment (misogyny). She was very responsive, eager, and engaging throughout. It was lovely building rapport, and I especially valued the check-in before the session as well as the way she involved us in the presentation and delivery process. I’m very happy with the connection we’ve built and I’m looking forward to our ongoing collaboration.”

Domestic Abuse Consultancy
Does your organisation have a Domestic Abuse Policy in place?
Domestic abuse impacts every aspect of a person’s life — including attendance, performance, and wellbeing at work.
Every organisation should have a clear policy outlining how it will:
- Support employees experiencing domestic abuse
- Respond appropriately to disclosures

- Promote a trauma-informed, supportive workplace culture
Pdap can support you to:
- Develop or review your Domestic Abuse Policy

We work collaboratively to ensure your organisation is safe, informed, and responsive.
