Location: The Nottingham Mechanics Institute, 3 North Sherwood Street, Nottingham, NG1 4EZ

This session is free to workers, volunteers, residents, businesses, faith and community organisations in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire as part of work to improve community safety.

J9 Domestic Abuse Initiative:

Funded by the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner (OPCC), the J9 Domestic Abuse Initiative is designed to raise awareness of domestic abuse and provide safe, accessible support for those affected.

We are offering a free 90-minute J9 training session for organisations and individuals in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. This training aims to create a community-focused approach to domestic abuse support, helping local businesses and community venues become safe spaces for individuals seeking help.

Our training covers how to recognise and respond to domestic abuse and promote confidence in signposting someone to specialist support.

Once the training is completed, your organisation will be provided with free J9 resources to display. These will let anyone experiencing abuse know they can discreetly and safely, get information and use a phone to contact a support service.

Why become a J9 space?

• Training is free for organisations in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire
• Quick and convenient - sessions are just 90 minutes and can be held online or in person - we can even come to you

What you’ll gain

• Increase awareness and understanding of what domestic abuse is
• Confidence to hold sensitive conversations and ask the right questions

The training is the most effective if most or all staff in an organisation attend to ensure the best all-round support for the community.

During the session, specific reference is made to different types of domestic abuse, so we recommend attending in a quiet and confidential space. Support is available if you are impacted by any content if the session.
