6 hours Advanced CPD
Ever wonder why victims of sexual assault and violence receive so much of the blame? This course examines the psychological theory and the most recent data about why and how individuals at all societal levels lay blame on the victim. It is based on three years of study by Dr. Jessica Taylor as well as the testimonies of over five hundred survivors, professionals, and members of the public. Through the use of films, exercises, tests, and presentations, you will gain knowledge of the theories and research that support our comprehension of victimisation and self-blame.
Taught by an accredited VictimFocus facilitator, Sarah Turner, who has over 25 years experience working in the Health and Social Care sector, is a registered Social Worker and is the Founder of Phoenix Training.
