Book Professional Training
Domestic abuse affects people in every community across Scotland. Professionals and workplaces must prioritise trauma-informed, domestic-abuse-competent training to improve safety and reduce risk for anyone affected.
Our training draws on survivors' experiences, leading research, and proven best practice to build the knowledge and confidence professionals need to respond safely and effectively.
Driving change through policy and research
Scottish Women’s Aid is the voice of the Women’s Aid movement in Scotland. We influence and shape local and national policy, using evidence and experience to improve responses to domestic abuse across public services, the justice system, and beyond.
