Virtual awareness session to help hairdressers and beauticians spot the signs of domestic abuse

Hairdressers and beauticians across the region are being invited to attended a virtual domestic abuse awareness session.

Organised by North Wales Police, ‘Would You Make the Cut’ gives employees in the industry the opportunity to to learn about the dynamics and effects of domestic abuse, hear real survivor stories and get tips and advice on what you can do to help.

The aim of this session is for domestic abuse survivors, police officers and domestic abuse specialists to provide key information on how health and beauty professionals can give advice, and where to signpost customers who they know are suffering from domestic abuse.

The last session, held in October 2020 was very popular and received great feedback.

PC Mike Taggart, Strategic Domestic Abuse Officer in North Wales Police Protective Vulnerable People Unit said: “After lots of enquiries about further training to the beauty industry, we will be holding another session for all to attend. We look forward to seeing you all there!”

There is no limit on spaces, and North Wales Police is encouraging as many people to attend as possible. You can take part in the session on Monday 21st March 2022, 10am – 12:30pm via Microsoft Teams. Join conversation (microsoft.com)
