Coercive control (5 Nations)

These are the slides from a 5 Nations webinar held in September 2025. This series of webinars shares Adult Support and Protection / safeguarding knowledge across the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales.

The theme of this webinar is coercive control. The sessions are:

• Does Scots law have a definition of coercive control and does it need one? (Nairn Young, Renfrewshire Council)
• Supporting survivors of domestic abuse and coercive control (Michelle Ward, Women’s Aid Orkney)

The material from this webinar also includes a coercive control assessment tool.
