Domestic abuse in the workplace training
​
I help employers, HR teams and managers to understand the dynamics of domestic abuse and coercive control, recognise how abuse may present in the workplace, and respond with greater confidence. Sessions are tailored to your organisation and focus on practical, sensitive responses, workplace responsibilities, and building a culture where employees feel safer to seek support.
​
​​
Bespoke. Real. Human.
Every session is shaped around real, anonymised scenarios.
Whether it’s a bite-sized lunch & learn or a full-day course, I deliver each session—online or in-person—with warmth, clarity, and zero judgement.
And for large-scale programmes, I work alongside a trusted network of experienced associates to deliver high-impact training at scale.

What clients say
Dawn's session on domestic abuse was a transformative experience for our team. She masterfully navigated a topic often seen as daunting, making it accessible and inclusive. Her approach not only heightened our awareness of domestic abuse but also empowered us with practical knowledge to identify and address it effectively. The diversity of perspectives in our group was skillfully accommodated, ensuring that each member left better able to recognise and respond to signs of abuse. The insights gained are also invaluable in guiding our product and service design, making them more sensitive to the intricacies of power dynamics and risks associated with domestic abuse. Dawn's expertise has been instrumental in enhancing our team's competence and developing our approach to creating more socially aware and impactful solutions.
