Domestic Abuse Workplace Training for Financial Services | FCA Compliance | SMCR Accountability 

In regulated financial services environments, domestic abuse is not only a safeguarding issue- it is a conduct, governance, and talent risk. Firms operating under FCA expectations and SMCR accountability frameworks require a structured, policy-led response that meets regulatory standards and protects both employees and the organisation.

Safe Haven Education delivers specialist training and policy consultancy designed specifically for the complexity of regulated financial services environments.

For firms regulated under:

• FCA conduct expectations

• SMCR accountability

• Health & Safety obligations

• Equality Act risk

• ESG reporting standards

Domestic abuse mismanagement in high-performance environments frequently presents as:

• Capability process errors

• Exit risk for high-value talent

• Discrimination claims

• Conduct and reputational exposure

Coercive Control Pattern Recognition- Specialist Coercive Control Training for Legal and Frontline Professionals | CPD Eligible

A specialist session addressing the single biggest failure point in coercive control cases: the inability of incident-focused systems to identify pattern-based harm.

Grounded in Section 76 of the Serious Crime Act 2015 and the Ministry of Justice Pathfinder findings, this session equips legal and frontline professionals to identify, document, and present coercive control as the cumulative pattern the law defines it to be- not a series of isolated incidents.

Ideal for: Family lawyers, criminal barristers, Cafcass officers, social workers, police, and HR professionals in regulated sectors.

SRA Vulnerability Obligations- Domestic Abuse Awareness Training for Law Firms | SRA Compliance | Vulnerable Client Handling

Law firms have a dual exposure to domestic abuse- as employers, and as practitioners whose clients are frequently survivors. The SRA Codes of Conduct require firms to identify vulnerability and adjust their service accordingly.

This session equips fee earners and support staff to recognise vulnerability in client interactions, handle disclosure safely, and meet their professional obligations under the SRA framework- reducing complaints risk and improving client outcomes.

Ideal for: Solicitors, legal executives, paralegals, and law firm HR and compliance teams.

Financial Remedy & Economic Abuse- Economic Abuse Training for Family Law Practitioners | Financial Remedy Proceedings

Economic abuse is present in the majority of coercive control cases yet remains one of the least recognised forms of abuse in financial remedy proceedings. This session gives family law practitioners the specialist knowledge to identify economic abuse in client evidence, understand its legal significance, and present it effectively in court.

Aligned to the Domestic Abuse Act 2021 definition of economic abuse and the Domestic Abuse Commissioner's findings on family court failure.

Ideal for: Family solicitors, barristers, mediators, and Cafcass practitioners.
