Response

Between the dates of 1st April 2023 and today's date, the Council did not pay for any specific domestic abuse training. However, all staff have access to our e-learning system which includes access to both Safeguarding Adults and Safeguarding Children courses.

We do not, as a Borough Council, employ Social Workers as this is done through East Sussex County Council:
