Skills for Justice

Our very own Senior Consultant, Cathy Gallagher, held a session at Women's Aid Federation of England's National Conference yesterday. She shared insights into how employers can access the new Level 4 Domestic and sexual abuse support worker apprenticeship standard for their staff. Skills for Justice worked with Women's Aid to design the new apprenticeship in an effort to improve support for survivors of domestic abuse and sexual violence. Thank you Women’s Aid for inviting us to connect with professionals across the country and share our insights into this apprenticeship standard. #EndAbuseTogether
