The Freedom Programme training isn’t just for teams working specifically in the area of domestic abuse.

There is a high correlation of the presence of domestic abuse in child death Serious Case Reviews.

Domestic abuse should be on everyone’s agenda and the Freedom Programme gives us the tools to address and work with it, effectively.

Testimonials: “I feel very motivated to develop programmes within our organisation to supplement what already exists and consequently provide this very valuable programme for more Women in the area.” Early Years Manager:

“Excellent – all Health Visitor team members/ Children’s Centre teams/ Social Work teams, need this training.”Health Visitor:

1 in 4 women and girls will suffer domestic abuse in their lifetime.NO MORE

The Freedom Programme is an educational domestic abuse model that is based on the Duluth model of power and control; written by Pat Craven www.freedomprogramme.co.uk

This 2 day training is appropriate for • any professional working with any adults, children and/or young people, male or female i.e. family support workers, social workers, teachers, health visitors, police, midwives, solicitors and legal teams, outreach workers, probation officers, youth workers, mental health workers...• direct support staff, managers, admin, reception and helpline staff…

• The Freedom Programme training increases awareness of the complexity and depth of domestic abuse.• Gives better understanding of the impacts of domestic abuse on children and young people, from pre birth onwards. • Increases skills in identifying what underpins the behaviours manifested and to have a clearer understanding of the barriers that victim/survivors have, to leaving an abusive relationship or engaging effectively with professionals.

The Freedom Programme can be used with your service user’s in a group setting or as an awareness raising tool to inform your practice.

CoachingWe all need someone to challenge us, support us and help us see things differently. I provide you with the opportunity to reflect and develop yourself through a series of 6 2-hour long mentoring sessions where we focus on your aims and ambitions and develop plans to achieve them.

Business Health CheckThe job of a consultant is, in many ways, to provide a critical and objective view of a client’s business. Through my business health check, I can undertake an organisation wide audit of your business that allows you then to identify the areas of strength and weakness.

TrainingI provide practical, focussed training in managing projects, managing risks and in business planning for you and your staff. These short courses are designed to get people thinking and doing rather sitting and listening.

So contact me if you wish to discuss either of the three areas above:

Paul Kaerger Management Solutionsu www.pkms.co.uku paul.kaerger@pkms.co.uku 07595 702 878u @paul_pkms

My name is Paul Kaerger and I am a business consultant and business coach. My approach is simple: to help you grow your business, I work with you to identify the things that are important and help you focus on them.

Our ethos is simple: “no matter how small your organisation you should be able to afford to have a great website.”

Our micro-business websites start from just £930 which gives you a fully branded and uniquely designed website built using a market-leading content management system (CMS). The CMS means that you can keep the website updated without having to pay anyone else to do it for you.

But we go one step further: Not only will you get a great website at a great price but we back it up with our “100% Satisfaction Money-Back Guarantee!”. We guarantee that your new website will pay for itself or weʼll give you your money back, no quibbles**.
