Standing Together delivers a variety of domestic violence awareness and skills courses.  Some of these courses are open access whilst others are agency specific. There is a small charge for training, however on occasion we are in receipt of funding which enables us to offer free places. If your agency has a number of staff who wish to receive training it may be more cost effective to deliver a tailor-made course.

Detailed below are upcoming training courses.  Where courses are fully booked please register your interest as we may be able to put on additional training dates.
