Digital Technology and Domestic Violence

Trending3.5(New)

Digital Technology and Domestic Violence is a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) course designed for healthcare professionals, nurses, social workers, counsellors, general practitioners, mental health clinicians, community support workers, and safeguarding professionals. This course provides an evidence-based overview of technology-facilitated abuse within the context of domestic and family violence, including identification of red flags, digital surveillance methods, image-based abuse, vulnerable populations, clinical response strategies, and available legal and support resources. Technology has transformed communication, healthcare access, and social interaction; however, it has also created new opportunities for coercion, control, harassment, and abuse. Perpetrators of domestic violence may misuse smartphones, tracking devices, social media, spyware, cameras, online accounts, and image-sharing platforms to monitor, intimidate, isolate, and control victims.
