Online Course on Violence
NCK has developed an online basic introductory course on men’s violence against women and violence in close relationships.
The course is interdisciplinary and aims to increase the competency among professionals who in their line of work encounter women and children subjected to violence, and/or perpetrators of violence. The course targets social care staff but can be used by staff working in other fields, such as health care, education or law. It is also available to the general public.
The course is free of charge and takes about three hours to complete.
