Module 1
Role and responsibility
Locate relationship-harm education within a defined role.
- Educational and specialist roles
- Non-diagnostic descriptions
- Participant-led priorities
Put it into practice
Write a scope statement for a fictional educational setting and identify specialist responsibilities it cannot assume.
Module 2
Consent, privacy and power
Create clear conditions for participation.
- Choosing how to participate
- Privacy and contact preferences
- Power in the helping role
Put it into practice
Review an example group invitation for privacy, contact preferences, optional participation and pressure to disclose.
Module 3
Listening to accounts of harm
Respond without interrogation, blame or forced interpretation.
- Listening without investigating
- Avoiding blame and minimisation
- Keeping choices open
Put it into practice
Use a fictional disclosure to practise acknowledgement, a clear limit and an invitation to appropriate support.
Module 4
Scope and support pathways
Recognise situations requiring specialist procedures and support.
- When to pause an activity
- Using approved safeguarding procedures
- Referral conversations
Put it into practice
Map the organisation’s proposed escalation and referral responsibilities; identify policies requiring qualified local review.
Module 5
Facilitating bounded learning
Adapt educational materials without encouraging unsafe disclosure.
- Using fictional cases
- Group boundaries
- Closing and follow-up
Put it into practice
Design a fictional case-based workshop with participation options, a co-facilitator role and a planned close.
Module 6
Reviewed practice and readiness
Demonstrate role clarity in complex fictional scenarios.
- Scenario-based knowledge review
- Observed practice
- Supervision and development plan
Put it into practice
Complete an observed scenario, a referral-map review and a reflection on personal limits; specialist review is required before launch.
How the learning will work.
Before you begin.
Proposed entry: TUWC Foundations or equivalent and relevant professional experience. Suitability, safeguarding preparation and supervision requirements will be reviewed before enrolment.
Learning and practice.
Proposed online theory and demonstrations with reviewed practice, with an in-person cohort also planned. Attendance and supervised practice requirements will be confirmed before enrolment.
Planned activities use fictional examples, private reflection and optional practice with consenting peers.
Putting it together.
Proposed evidence: a scope and consent statement, practical work from the modules, an observed fictional peer exercise, a reflective portfolio and a development plan. Final criteria, assessor arrangements, practice hours and completion wording will be confirmed before enrolment.
A clear scope.
Education about scope, language and referral. It is not a crisis-response credential, clinical treatment qualification or training to investigate allegations.
Any completion award, TUWC delivery permissions or external recognition will be clearly stated before enrolment.
Something to take with you
Create a practical takeaway.
A behaviour-focused fictional-case review and a scoped reflection plan that preserves participant choice and identifies support boundaries.
You will build this through reflection and small practice tasks. It is something you can adapt, return to and use beyond the course.
Your learning resources
More than lessons to watch.
The planned course kit supports reflection, practice and integration. Course-specific workbook drafts are being prepared for review; student downloads will become available with the released course.
Your course workbook
A course-specific draft with a starting reflection, 6 module worksheets, 18 lesson practice prompts and a closing review.
Module practice worksheets
A printable worksheet for each module, bringing the lesson ideas into examples, decisions and small practices. These are included in the workbook.
Your personal takeaway
A behaviour-focused fictional-case review and a scoped reflection plan that preserves participant choice and identifies support boundaries.
Reflection and integration plan
A before-and-after check-in, a manageable practice plan and a review of what helped, what changed and where more support is needed.
Practice portfolio prompts
Fictional-case reflection, consent and scope questions, and space to identify supervision or assessment needs. Final professional requirements are still being defined.
