WHY YOU SHOULD TRAIN WITH US

With over 30 years’ experience in family work, 20+ years specialising in violence within families, and 16+ years working directly with parents, carers and professionals, Jane brings an exceptional depth of knowledge to this complex area. Her extensive frontline practice, research partnerships and lived experience shape a genuine understanding of the dynamics behind CPA and the strategies that create real, lasting change for families.

Capa’s specialist training ensures that every attendee whether joining us online or in person receives practical, evidence-informed tools they can use immediately. Our methodology is grounded in Attachment Theory, Pro-Social Modelling and Neuroscience, offering a powerful, compassionate and proven framework for supporting parents, children and young people.

We have trained organisations across the UK, strengthening professional confidence and embedding safer, earlier and more effective responses to CAPVA. Feedback consistently highlights the impact:

“Wow!This was very useful training and I really enjoyed it. Jam-packed with knowledge, advice and tools.

Brilliant”
