DASH Training
Author-accredited DASH Practitioner Competence
We provide standalone DASH Training for organisations and practitioners who need to use DASH more confidently and consistently.
The training focuses on consistent use of the tool, better questioning, clearer recording and more confident professional judgement.
Who this training is for
This training is for teams and practitioners who use DASH as part of their role.
It may be suitable for:
- frontline and community-based services
- housing and homelessness services
- family support and youth support roles
- community safety and welfare roles
- specialist domestic abuse services
- other roles where DASH is part of practice
What practitioners will be able to do
After the training, practitioners will be able to:
- use DASH with more consistency
- ask better questions and gather fuller information
- record risk information more clearly
- use DASH to support judgement rather than replace it
- avoid common misuse such as tick-box use or over-reliance on thresholds
- work within local procedures with more confidence
What the training covers
DASH Training covers:
- what DASH is and how it is used
- how to ask questions well
- how to record information clearly
- how to use professional judgement alongside the tool
- how DASH links to next-step thinking in practice
- how to use DASH within local governance and procedures
Why teams choose this training
Teams choose DASH Training when they want more than basic familiarity with the tool.
They want staff to use it more consistently. They want better-quality information, fewer avoidable mistakes and a clearer shared approach across the team.
How the training works
You can book:
- a place on an open cohort
- in-house training for your team or organisation
This makes it possible to train individual practitioners or whole teams, depending on what you need.
Need live programme delivery as well?
If you need staff to deliver The Dynamics of Abuse live, see Facilitator Training.
That training is our main organisational offer and includes one place on DASH Training with each booking.
