Protecting children from domestic violence: children and the law
1 Day – 21/09/10 – Women Only
This one day course will enable you to support survivors of domestic violence by giving you the knowledge you need to understand and negotiate the complex public and private law that relates to children.
In the morning we will investigate the key concepts of parental responsibility, contact and residence, with a focus on the court’s approach to domestic violence and child contact. We will then examine the practice and procedure of contact proceedings and the role of CAFCASS. In the afternoon we will look at local authority involvement with children in domestic violence cases, explaining care and supervision proceedings, adoption and special guardianship.
Breaking the cycle: using civil and criminal remedies to protect women from violence
1 Day – 22/09/10 – Women Only
Equip yourself with a practical knowledge of the range and scope of legal remedies available for women who have suffered domestic and sexual violence. The one day course will provide a comprehensive overview of protections offered by the civil and criminal law and will enable you to assist a woman to choose the best protection for her situation. You will then focus on how to support a woman through the process of the legal remedy she has chosen, including how to apply for and enforce a civil injunction. The course will also provide an update on the development of new ‘Go’ protection orders.

No recourse? EEA national? Overcoming the barriers
1 Day – 27/10/10 Doncaster – Women Only
Meeting the needs of women who have no recourse to public funds, or who are EEA nationals, is incredibly challenging. You have to be able to keep-to-date with one of the most frequently changing areas of law, understand the duties of local authorities and the rights that the woman herself has to pursue justice in the criminal, family or immigration systems. This one day course will give you the skills and knowledge you need to support women who have experienced domestic violence and who have an insecure immigration status with confidence.
