Our coercion and control enquiry training introduces the CACE form; a tool used to identify coercive control and to support practitioners in making decisions on the level of intervention needed.
About the training
Coercive control is a better indicator of risk than physical violence, but identifying this behaviour is an area that practitioners can find difficult to recognise and record. The triennial review of Serious Case Reviews (May 2016) stated that practitioners are not always rigorous in assessing and following through on all identified risks of domestic abuse and that there is sometimes little analysis of risks of harm. Rock Pool want to support practitioners to reduce the risk of harm domestic abuse causes for children and young people.
Rock Pool’s training courses use a trauma-informed psycho-educational model. We facilitate a safe space to ensure learning and promote collaboration. Our training is designed to be strengths based and skills building. We believe that by giving individuals knowledge we enable them to better understand and deal with their previous experiences.
The CACE training course increases the delegates’ understanding of the dynamics of domestic abuse. It introduces delegates to the CACE Form which they can use to identify coercive control. Both elements can support delegates to make intelligence-based decisions on the application of appropriate thresholds and the right level and type of intervention needed. The CACE Form can be used to aid discussion with both parents/responsible adults.
This one day training course is for up to 25 delegates per session, enabling you to train multiple staff in a single session, and is delivered direct to your organisation, on a day of your choice.
