Judges to undergo psychological domestic abuse training
Image copyrightLAURA DODSWORTHJudges and sheriffs in Scotland are to receive special training ahead of a new bill to criminalise psychological domestic abuse.
The online training will focus on knowledge and understanding of the Domestic Abuse (Scotland) Act 2018, which comes into force on 1 April.
Participants will also complete a face-to-face domestic abuse course.
The interactive learning package was commissioned by the Judicial Institute for Scotland.
The face-to-face courses will be held in the Institute’s purpose-built judicial learning suite in Edinburgh.
