In June 2024 the Technological University of the Shannon and Haven Horizons hosted a Domestic Abuse and Coercive Control Impact Symposium – “Interagency Training Saves Lives”.

We discussed the impact of the accredited domestic abuse / coercive control training on practitioners, agencies, and alumni of the course. We explored how to build a coordinated interagency response, close the gaps in risk assessment and risk management practices and reduce domestic abuse related homicides.
