Francis Hanna & Co provide information and training to those working with Domestic Abuse victims

14 March 2024

 

In an ongoing commitment to support victims of domestic violence, our Family Law Solicitors Claire Edgar and Emma Stratton have been providing training seminars with various organisations dedicated to supporting those affected by domestic abuse to include Women’s Aid and Assist NI.

A key focus of our training seminars has been on providing information on Non-Molestation Orders  and Occupation Orders, setting out the legal grounds for obtaining such Orders and how the Legal Aid system can support victims who seek this protection.  This training is also aimed at increasing awareness of the Family Court system and the range of applications that can be made in respect of children.

Our Family Law Solicitor Emma Stratton comments:-

“At Francis Hanna & Co Solicitors, we have always worked very closely and collaboratively with organisations supporting those who have been victims of domestic abuse.   Our training sessions provide invaluable guidance to professionals, ensuring that they can appropriately support the rights and interests of victims within our legal system.  We have also found that this training has empowered frontline workers with the knowledge and resources needed to assist victims.  We are proud to share our expertise in this area and have been delighted with how well our training sessions have been received by professionals.”
