Sorry I commented on the wrong thread and can’t seem to delete a comment other than by writing something else!

I don’t believe the online training session prohibits those who are men in the fields of hair and beauty from attending. My understanding it is open to all.

Just to widen this a little:

Domestic abuse is not only physical violence. Often it is coercive abuse, ie, controlling behaviour towards a partner. This can be denial of financial independence or it can be just plain bullying by verbal threats. It is all domestic abuse.

Secondly, it happens to men as well as women. Therefore, it would be wise to include places like barbershops or tattoo parlours where men may share their experiences.

Sorry you are right, but it is not very clear

It’s about reducing the risk of undisclosed domestic violence, specifically targeting beauty professionals as their places of work are often “safe spaces” in which they are able to identify safeguarding issues and in which women typically disclose.

Not to be conflated with the risks around the pandemic.

In light of the training session Reducing the Risk (a organisation that is dedicated to the safety of adults and children at risk of domestic abuse)  is running at the Community Centre on Monday 13th December (11am-1pm), I thought this might be of interest to those who work as beauty or hair professionals in Charlbury and the surrounding area. It is an online event next Monday.

It is a collaboration between Thames Valley Police, West Oxfordshire Community Safety Partnership, Abingdon and Witney College, and Reducing the Risk.
