Half-day, Online training
“Why don’t they just leave?”
If you have ever heard, or asked, this question, this course is essential.
Coercive control is one of the most misunderstood, overlooked, and damaging forms of abuse. It can erode autonomy, safety and identity.
In this powerful half-day course, you will learn how to recognise the tactics used by abusers to dominate, isolate, and entrap their victims and how to respond with insight, clarity and care.
You will also come away from the session with:
- The ability to spot red flags and patterns that others miss
- Practical skills to help people name their experience and begin the path to safety
- Confidence in making referrals and signposting to the right services
- A trauma-informed lens for safe, non-judgemental responses to disclosure
- The insight to challenge harmful myths and change the conversation, professionally and publicly
The course is much more than theory. You will take part in interactive activities, guided discussion, and live case analysis to bring the learning to life. Whether you’re new to the topic or looking to deepen your expertise, this session offers a dynamic, reflective space to challenge assumptions, sharpen professional judgement, and leave with practical tools you can use straight away.
This half day course is free to all Sheffield workers because we have funding from SCC. If you do not work in Sheffield, please see our national training programme which can be accessed by everybody.

We have limited places and it is therefore important that you only register for a course if you intend to attend. If you are unable to attend your course for any reason, you must unregister so someone else can take your place. IDAS will report repeat incidents of non-attendance to your direct report.
We operate a three strikes policy and non-attenders who miss three sessions will be blocked from registering for future IDAS training.
