Stalking Masterclass<br />
Bird has first hand knowledge of the need for greater awareness<br />
by professionals who come into contact with domestic abuse, coercive<br />
control, stalking, narcissism and manipulation. She recently set up S-<br />
DAST to provide training in safeguarding, domestic abuse and<br />
stalking. S-DAST is based in East Anglia but provides training<br />
nationwide and more can be found on the website:<br />
www.sdast.co.uk<br />
Available nationally for police, agencies, CJS, CPS, social services, schools/universities, domestic<br />
abuse agencies and anyone requiring this knowledge.<br />
S-DAST will be holding classes around England and Wales and can also offer bespoke half or full-day<br />
training on stalking.<br />
DASH Training<br />
The DASH ( Domestic Abuse, Stalking, Harassment and Honour Based Violence Risk Identification,<br />
Assessment and Management too) will identify risk & save lives.<br />
Alison is an experienced DASH trainer alongside being a front line case worker. This has enabled<br />
Alison to turn the DASH risk assessment into a trauma-informed 2-way dialogue so that victims get<br />
something back from the process and are better supported. Alison's DASH training therefore is more<br />
victim-focused than most DASH training and will ensure that the process benefits victims in multiple<br />
ways. S-DAST can provide half-day and full day DASH training. It's not just taking information but<br />
creating a two-way discussion. This DASH training can help empower, support, signpost and safety<br />
plan for victims whilst simultaneously identifying risk.<br />
Advocacy<br />
If you work with domestic abuse and or stalking victims and you want to enhance your advocacy<br />
skills Alison can provide practical classes on Advocacy. These classes will ensure you are better<br />
equipped at MARAC, writing housing support letters, making child safeguarding referrals, support<br />
letters for family Court.<br />
S-DAST has specialist contacts who can aid training on cyber stalking, LGBTQ+, working with young<br />
people and also offer counselling.<br />
