About the Course

ECLIPSE's Children and Family Violence training course

provides participants with a greater understanding of the impacts of

family violence on children and whānau. This course will introduce you

to important aspects of child protection, the complexities produced by

family violence, legislation, and practitioner obligations and responses.

​

By combining Louise and Debbs lived experience of both family and sexual violence, with their specialist practice knowledge, skills and capability, the true position of sexual violence in family violence perpetration will be exposed.  With an increase in awareness of indicators of sexual violence within family violence, the intersection between the two can no longer be overlooked.  Sexual violence can and is a form of family violence, and with increased practitioner knowledge, the voices of our primary victims of family and sexual violence will be raised.
