Shared on behalf of Refuge

Refuge’s specialist Technology Facilitated Abuse and Economic Empowerment team delivered a free 1-hour training (plus 15-minute Q&A) for healthcare professionals in October. This was designed to order to improve healthcare responses to tech abuse. Following the training, 100% of respondents said they felt more confident identifying technology facilitated abuse and understanding how it may present in clinical settings.

Due to the success of the event, we have released another date. Tickets remain free for all healthcare professionals and can be purchased via the below link. I have also included the training details below.

Training Summary 

This 1-hour webinar provides healthcare professionals with an essential introduction to the growing risk of technology-facilitated abuse (TFA). Designed specifically for those working in healthcare, the session will explore how TFA can present in clinicals settings, including misuse of everyday technology, assistive technology and the NHS app. Delivered by Refuge’s specialist Technology Facilitated Abuse and Economic Empowerment team, this webinar will highlight the intersecting barriers faced by survivors from global majority backgrounds and survivors with disabilities. These insights will deepen clinicians understanding of how technology facilitated abuse impacts survivors of domestic abuse and their children.
