We are very proud to have successfully launched our consultancy services. We have had the opportunity to deliver Domestic Abuse Practice training to frontline and manager staff from Non Violantiam CIC and Second City, who support Birmingham’s most vulnerable adults by providing accommodation and housing.


The aim of the training was to develop processes and skills for risk assessing, the impact of domestic abuse. support versus empowerment, support planning and evidencing, boundaries and defining roles.


We are glad to receive excellent feedback from the delegates, giving the training an average score of over 90%. Thank you to Brewin Dolphin for hosting us so warmly for the training.

'Training Matters'

First pilot of domestic abuse awareness training

WAITS was also invited by Eden Girl’s Leadership Academy to deliver a workshop on abuse awareness.


After the year 9 students researched the work we do in our local area, the students will now be raising awareness and fundraising on our behalf.

The year 9 students nominated WAITS for the First Give Programme, with the aim of carrying out social action, because they are passionate about amplifying the voices of women who experience domestic abuse.


We feel incredibly supported by our communities in Birmingham and look forward to the continued collaboration and opportunities the future will present.
