Professional Domestic Abuse Training
Empower your staff with specialised training and workshops tailored to meet your needs


Anna Hosking – Freelance Trainer
I have nine years’ experience facilitating training and workshops. I’ve developed and delivered a wide variety of sessions on domestic abuse and trained hundreds of professionals including social workers, GPs, nurses, support workers, nursery workers, police, counsellors and voluntary sector staff.
I am qualified as a independent domestic abuse practitioner and I am a registered social worker with eight years’ of frontline experience working with people subjected to or affected by domestic abuse.
I am passionate about training and raising domestic abuse awareness amongst professionals. I believe that the more of us who understand domestic abuse, the better we can respond as a society.
Training and Workshops
I offer a range of standardised workshops (below) and provide bespoke training/workshops on domestic abuse, substance misuse, mental health and older people. My standard charge is £75 for an hour or £200 for three hours (plus travel costs if applicable).
