Domestic Abuse Basic Awareness E’Learning Guidance

SETDAB have updated our Basic Domestic Abuse Awareness E-learning package which can now be accessed on the ESCA Academy partnership e-learning platform.

This site is free to use for organisations across Southend, Essex & Thurrock. Please visit the site and register your details. The e-learning package covers the following learning outcomes:

• To recognise domestic violence and abuse and be aware of the dynamics, impact and the effects on individuals, agencies and society.
• To understand the complexities that often surround Domestic Abuse.
• To be aware of referral pathways for professional support and know how to access it.

The training should take you approx. 60 minutes to complete and on completion you will receive a certificate.

As of October 2025, we have moved to a new learning platform so you will need to set a new account up to access this course; this is a quick process.

You can access the training by registering/logging on here.

Update 10th Nov 2025 – we are aware that YouTube videos are not playing – this is a platform wide issue that the developers are looking into.  In the meantime if you complete a course, the system may not recognise this as the videos were not launched; to get your completion certificate email us and we will issue you one: domestic.abuseessex@essex.gov.uk
