Kwango is pleased to announce the launch of our latest e-learning course on Domestic Abuse. It adds to our suite of other popular Children’s Services, Adult Services and Health Care E-Learning courses.
Domestic Abuse is a serious social problem and human rights violation. It can affect anyone regardless of culture, ethnic or religious group, gender, sexuality, age, disability, income or lifestyle.
Our Domestic Abuse E-Learning is an awareness- level programme and is designed to help Social Care, Health Care, Education and Private, Voluntary and Independent Sector staff in a number of ways. These include helping staff to understand the key concepts of Domestic Abuse; recognise the signs and symptoms of it; understand the potentially serious and wide-ranging impacts on individuals and families and deal with its disclosure.
Our high quality course contains interactive interviews with Domestic Abuse survivors plus quizzes to further engage learners. As with all our courses, it can be customised for each individual organisation.

We have been very pleased by the response to our newly redesigned website. In addition to an increase in general traffic, we have been delighted to see an increase in enquiries about our e-learning courses from sectors we haven’t traditionally served directly. Topping this list with a substantial number of enquiries are residential care homes for older people.
Although pleasing, this level of response is not altogether surprising: kwango e-learning and residential care homes for older people are a perfect fit. We offer a number of e-learning courses which can benefit their staff directly, such as our Dementia, Safeguarding Adults, Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards and Mental Capacity Act e-learning courses, and we also offer a very economical way to help smaller institutions to achieve across-the-board training.
Of course, it is not just residential care homes for older people who stand to benefit from our e-learning courses: other organisations may be interested in our Safeguarding Children e-learning course or any number of our other e-learning courses. We hope, through our new website, to continue to find more opportunities to deliver our Adult Services, Children’s Services and Healthcare e-learning courses.
