Overview

Join us for a focused webinar designed to empower student midwives with the skills to recognise and support survivors of domestic violence. This session explores early warning signs, safe and sensitive enquiry, and how to respond effectively to disclosures in a trauma‑informed way. Participants will gain practical guidance on safeguarding, referral pathways, and building confidence in having difficult conversations. This webinar aims to strengthen future midwives’ ability to provide safe, compassionate care for women and families experiencing abuse.

This webinar is hosted by the student midwife forum
