This accessible course from the University of Sheffield helps better understand how to support victims of domestic violence via a series personal testimonies, articles, and videos.

Between 2016-17, the UK economy is estimated to have spent approximately £66 billion on services and support in Domestic Violence and Abuse issues.

Domestic violence is a global epidemic, and while people of all genders are susceptible to it, women are disproportionately affected and more likely to experience it on a regular basis.

The University of Sheffield has put together this course to help people who are likely to find themselves in contact with domestic violence victims through their work, community, and everyday life.

Led by Senior Lecturer Parveen Ali and Learning Technologist Jesrine Clarke-Darrington, the course brings in experts from charities, law enforcement, and the National Health Service to examine the causes and impact of domestic violence.
