New platform will offer training on domestic abuse support

A CHARITY is launching a new online platform to equip local professionals with the knowledge to better support women facing domestic abuse.

Resolute Women’s Support Service, founded by domestic abuse survivor Deborah Jones, from Cudworth, has developed the initiative with funding from the Brelms Trust.

The programme offers 25 fully-funded places for local practitioners, giving them access to vital training and resources to help signpost women at risk to specialist support services.

Deborah, who set up Resolute to provide a lifeline for women in need, said: “Many women don’t know where to turn or who to disclose abuse to.

“It’s crucial that we educate our community about domestic abuse.

“Survivors have bravely shared their experiences to shape this training, ensuring it is both powerful and practical.

“Thanks to the Brelms Trust, we can now reach even more people and spread awareness on a much larger scale.”
