TRAINING, CAMPAIGNING AND PUBLIC SPEAKING
Increase knowledge of domestic abuse and stalking
As an accredited trainer for domestic abuse, stalking and recovery programmes I can support you and your organisation in developing and training for staff. Campaigning for human rights, and raising awareness has been fundamental in my career and I have worked with television, radio and on social media to promote these issues. Speaking publicly at different conferences and to professionals has enabled me to highlight good practice, area's of learning and development. I will work with you to ensure training is bespoke to the needs of your workforce.

"Katie was excellent in her knowledge and keeping the energy up throughout the training day, she made domestic abuse easier to understand and provided different ideas in how we can work with those who come into our service."
​
"Katie was really engaging and clearly an expert on the topic. All the information was relevant and interesting, I think it will really help to improve my practice.
All the information felt easy to relate to practice and we were given lots of helpful resources that we could use going forward. One of the best trainings I've ever
done."
​
Katie’s support in educating the next generation of social workers is invaluable. Her expertise and extensive experience in working in a wide range of roles focused on the living experience of domestic abuse and its effects on individuals, families, communities and wider society, means her teaching is up to the minute and her approach is very humane. She is great to work with and her unique insights into domestic abuse enable our students to learn from her knowledge and skills.
