Coercion and Control training – 11th November 2025 09:30 – 15:30

There are still places available on this multi-agency training course aimed at professionals working with children, families, and adults.

Coercive and controlling behaviour is at the heart of domestic abuse. This controlling behaviour is designed to make a person dependent by isolating them from support, exploiting them, depriving them of independence, and regulating their everyday behaviour.

Coercive control creates invisible chains and a sense of fear that pervades all elements of a survivor’s life. Experts like Evan Stark liken coercive control to being taken hostage. As he says: “the victim becomes captive in an unreal world created by the abuser, entrapped in a world of confusion, contradiction and fear.” (Stark, 2007).
