Overview

This online micro-credential will give you a nuanced understanding of how perpetrators of domestic and family violence establish and maintain their abusive tactics.  You will learn to recognise how expressions of gender inequality are a driver of violence. This micro-credential will help you understand the dynamics of violence, how individual incidents form part of a pattern of violence and what constitutes coercive control.  This micro-credential aligns with a knowledge component required of facilitators (at all levels) and Victim Advocates to help them comply with the requirements of Queensland’s Department of Justice and Attorney-General for funded perpetrator intervention services.

This online micro-credential provides a non-creditable micro-credential and digital badge which can be shared to your social networks and displayed in your professional portfolio.

Our micro-credentials are aligned to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
