Domestic abuse risk and safeguarding in the context of counselling
12.00pm - 1.00pm
This session will provide an overview of risk markers within domestic abuse, provide information about when confidentiality in the counselling relationship should be breached due to safety/safeguarding concerns, and what actions counsellors should take following a disclosure of domestic abuse within a counselling session. The aim of the session is to educate counsellors about risk markers within domestic abuse, so they can gain an awareness of what to look for which may suggest that a service user is at risk. The session also aims to support counsellors to understand safety/safeguarding policies and procedures within a domestic abuse context, which will enable them to better understand the boundaries of confidentiality within a counselling setting. Finally, the session will aim to raise awareness of what steps counsellors should take following a disclosure of domestic abuse, and what organisations are available to support with this.
