SEA offers bespoke training on economic abuse. We have trained a wide variety of professionals, from customer support staff at banks and building societies to domestic abuse champions in the police force.
“Fantastic training. I feel confident in supporting victims of economic abuse and I know there is support to help me support others.”
Training is a core function for SEA and a significant mechanism we use to influence deep and lasting change in multiple areas.
We trained 1,416 people in 2020.
97% of participants agreed that their course had increased their understanding of economic abuse and gave them a better understanding of the link between economic and physical safety.
Our training has been accredited by the Open College Network (London).
