Why Isn't Coercive Control Training MANDATORY For Social Workers?

Resolute: Zero Tolerance For Domestic Abuse

Resolute's CEO Debbie Jones welcomes back Emma Arran to discuss the critical need for mandatory training on coercive control for social workers. They explore the concerning lack of education in this area, despite the high percentage of cases involving domestic abuse and coercive control that social workers handle. The conversation delves into the variations in social work degree programs, the influence of power dynamics, and the impact of systemic issues on families. They also touch on the remembrance of children lost to systemic failures, the importance of human rights in social work, and the need for a culture of activism and specialized education within the field.
