She had confided in her hairdresser about the domestic abuse she was experiencing at home and reached out for support but sadly the seriousness wasn't realised and she was murdered a few weeks later at the hands of her abusive partner.From this training we hope to encourage those in positions of trust to be confident in having difficult, sensitive conversations, to be professionally curious and to be able to sign post clients/victims to specialist support agencies.Everyone who takes part in the training will receive materials to display in their business windows or mirrors to show that it is a safe space. They will also receive a pin badge which is a great way to start a conversation, it gives the opportunity to talk about the training they have completed and then offer support services if a client needs it.Martin Lakeman, Domestic Abuse Consultant, said:Our aim is that as many professionals have the opportunity to come to a free session and learn about what domestic abuse is and what they can do to recognise the signs, and signpost support to those that may be suffering abuse. Because of the close proximity certain professionals have, they will see things other people might not notice, people are more likely to talk to someone they trust about abuse rather than report it to the police. A salon for example may be the ideal place to seek help as it could be one of the few places their abuser will allow them to go or go without them.”“I thought the training last week was excellent, thank you” – A Financial advisor"I can honestly say the ‘cut it out’ training explains and allows others to understand more about domestic abuse, how to recognize it and help victims more than any other course I’ve been on. Very well put together.” - Domestic abuse champion (Hairdresser) - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/pershore/cut-it-out-free-domestic-abuse-awareness-training/100001999018181192 - **Event Categories**: workshops - **Slot details of has slots**: - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 2 hours - Location: Civic Centre - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Pershore - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Civic Centre - **lat**: 52.1143721 - **long**: -2.0784372 - **full address**: Civic Centre, Queen Elizabeth Drive, Pershore, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: #Cut It Out - FREE Domestic Abuse Awareness Training - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/6123b8a01049cda01e5948304081c27a8226e572217a1201a37ad250c69f2d85-rimg-w937-h462-dcf8f8f8-gmir.jpg?v=1788115576 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is #Cut It Out - FREE Domestic Abuse Awareness Training being held? - **A:** #Cut It Out - FREE Domestic Abuse Awareness Training takes place on Mon, 14 Dec, 2026 at 10:00 am to Mon, 14 Dec, 2026 at 12:00 pm at Civic Centre, Queen Elizabeth Drive, Pershore, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing #Cut It Out - FREE Domestic Abuse Awareness Training? - **A:** #Cut It Out - FREE Domestic Abuse Awareness Training is organized by South Worcestershire Community Safety Partnership. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
