Our Coercive Control and Controlling Behaviours CPD Course is NOW LIVE!
The first in our series of affordable and flexible CPD course for teachers into the topic of Coercive Control and Controlling Behaviours was released on Monday 18th November.
The course is for all teachers and tutors – not just for PSHE / RSE / Pastoral staff – and teaches, in bite-sized chunks, the basics of Controlling Behaviours and Coercive Control. The course shows you how to spot unhealthy relationship traits and how to help students understand and see them too.
“I think the tone and information are excellent – it feels appropriately factual and respectful – you’re dealing with facts. We would support purchasing something like this for colleagues for sure” Mr J.W. SLT, Safeguarding, Somerset.
The course also includes some tools to use, video content, reading recommendations and sources of help and support. Research by Women’s Aid and ORB released last November showed that young people who consumed ‘Andrew Tate’ style content (with misogynistic, aggressive, controlling and abusive overtones) were five times more likely to think it was acceptable to use violence against your partner, that 31% said there should be a ‘dominant partner’ in a relationship and that 24% thought that consent was more-or-less option in a relationship.
The above, combined with the influence of P0rn is having a corrosive effect on relationships amongst teenagers and young adults. Research from University of Ulster and Queens University Belfast found that many young people were also unaware of coercive control and what it looked like.
Coercive Control has been illegal in England and Wales since 2015 and on the RSE Statutory Guidance since 2019 so it’s vital that all teachers are aware of it and how it manifests in young people.
Our new CPD Course in Coercive Control is only £95 for a full year of access and is designed to help your staff teams to understand how coercive control and controlling behaviours work and help young people to recognise them.
