Tender is pleased to deliver a two-day training programme for frontline workers in partnership with the Lilith Project, part of Eaves Housing for Women. This training is designed to equip workers with an understanding of the experiences of female survivors of violence and abuse as well as explore the power and control model for explaining male violence. It also provides frontline staff with practical guidance for best practice when working with female survivors of violence.
