It’s not always easy to spot when a relationship becomes controlling, especially for young people. Coercive control is a pattern of abusive behaviours that uses manipulation, monitoring, surveillance, pressure, and fear to limit someone’s freedom and independence.

When technology is involved, it can be even harder to recognise.

This training explores:

• how technology-facilitated coercive control impacts young people
• the common red flags to watch for
• practical ways to respond and support those experiencing it.

This session is for practitioners, frontline workers and other professionals who support children, young people and their families in the health, welfare and other sectors.
