Deborah runs one or half day intensive law courses on domestic violence. Previous delegates have commented:
‘Excellent training, informative, accessible for those without a legal background and the use of case studies really helps to put theory into practical situations. I would recommend this to all agencies working with victims of domestic violence’. (Janet Frost, Manager, Northern Sunflower Centre, Corby.)
If you prefer, you can tailor the course to fit your own specific requirements. Just ask for what you need!
Costs: £850 per day (plus travel/overnight accommodation if applicable) for in-house trainings.
