Following our Evaluating Prevention development day in May, Zero Tolerance is organising a second development day for Prevention Network members on the topic of funding prevention.
The event will take place from 10am-4pm on Wednesday June 23rd at the Albany Centre in Glasgow and lunch is provided. The event is free for members but booking is essential and places are limited.
This session is aimed at front-line staff who work directly with women, children and young people and who recognise that an understanding of the dynamics of domestic abuse will help them in their work. Participants need no prior learning or experience of domestic abuse related issues.
By the end of the session delegates will be able to:
The Forced Marriage etc. (Protection and Jurisdiction) (Scotland) Act was passed by the Scottish Parliament on 22 March 2011 to provide a specific civil remedy for those threatened with forced marriage and those already in such a marriage. The Act received Royal Assent on 27 April 2011 and came into force on 28 November 2011.
Working in the caring professions can pose unique challenges, particularly when professional roles encompass caring, therapeutic and legislative dimensions. What can happen when service users come to view support workers as “part of the family”? Or when a worker’s compassion leads them to become over-involved or enmeshed? Or excessive and target led case loads lead workers to become alienated and rigid in their day to day tasks?
We all use the same phrases to describe our understanding of VAW: “cause and consequence of women’s inequality”, “gender-based violence” etc. But how well do our understandings of the dynamics of VAW match what we do about domestic abuse? In these times of budget cuts and outcomes reporting, knowing that we are using our resources wisely is increasingly important, and logic modelling can help.
“Under Pressure: Teen Abuse and Sexual Exploitation”
Participants will increase their awareness of the issue of abuse and sexual exploitation in young people’s relationships and equip workers with skills and knowledge to prevent and address this problem in their practice. (the Under Pressure course was developed in partnership with Zero Tolerance)
“Communication Technology & Young People: Stranger Danger or Peer Peril?”
Participants will learn how young people use mobile technology in their daily lives, the risks presented and how to help them manage these through youth work activities.
Wednesday 10th April 2013, 9.45am – 3.30pm at Positive Action in Housing, 98 West George Street, Glasgow G2 1PJ
Aim: Develop your understanding of domestic abuse as a form of gender based violence, its impact on people, including children and young people, and consider aspects of your own practice for further development.
