How training is delivered

1. Remotely via Zoom or MS Teams to your whole team, or to individuals who can join a multi-agency group. Once a session is booked, we send you an e-mail containing the link inviting you to join us.
2. In person to your team, depending where you are located. Our trainers can sometimes accommodate sessions outside of office hours, for example, for police at the start of an early shift, early evening or weekends.

It really does take less than 1 hour!

Above are just some of the areas we cover in our free training. We give you the information you need with minimum fuss and in line with the Domestic Abuse Act 2021.

ASSIST is accessible by all UK Police Forces 24/7 and provides immediate secure access to copies of injunctions and certificates of service often before they are on the PNC. The documents can be viewed online or sent to the officer via secure email. This is what the police have to say about it:

“The training was really useful not just for me but the whole team benefited from it.”

“Thanks to the brilliant Assist website, I was able to see that a non mol had been sanctioned but with a statement of non service attached to the order, so I printed it off, went to Stuarts HA and served him the non mol personally. I then completed a statement of service and sent it to NCDV so that the order could then be placed on our PNC.“
