The College works to raise the professional status of police officers and police staff. It plays a vital role in setting standards and in the training and development of police officers and staff, ensuring that they have the knowledge and skills they need in order to fight crime and protect the public. This opportunity is an invitation to participate in a competition for a 2-year licence to use the College of Policing's Domestic Abuse Matters Change Programme ('DA Matters') to deliver training to delegates from Home Office police forces. It includes the College's: • 1-Day (7 hour) First responder training • 1-Day (7 hour) Champions training The government's definition of domestic abuse is "Any incident or pattern of incidents of controlling, coercive, threatening behaviour, violence or abuse (psychological, physical, sexual, financial or emotional) between those aged 16 or over who are, or have been, intimate partners or family members regardless of gender or sexuality". DA Matters is a programme of activity to help policing organisations to enhance the knowledge and skills of their workforce who act as 'First Responders' and those 'Champions' who manage or supervise them, in order to improve the police response to domestic abuse. The trainer-led classroom based sessions include a mixture of videos, PowerPoint presentations, and group discussions. Key learning outcomes are for delegates to be able to explain what is meant by the term 'coercive control', understand the effect of multiple controlling behaviours on victims, and identify why victims can find it difficult to leave an abusive partner. The programme is a response to recommendations in the HMIC's 2014 report entitled "Everyone's business: Improving the Police Response to Domestic Abuse".
