Initiatives to Financially Empower Survivors of Domestic Violence

On the 20th TASC held a panel discussion on empowering survivors of domestic violence. The event marked the culmination of a collaborative initiative between TASC, The Irish Banking Culture Board - IBCB, Safe Ireland, and the Money Advice and Budgeting Service - MABS, to design and deliver a bespoke financial resilience training initiative to support victims of domestic abuse. The training programme ran from October 2022 to March 2023 and 36 specialist domestic violence keyworkers working with Safe Ireland member organisations across Ireland completed the training. HERE you can find all materials and the evaluation of the programme.

You can listen to CEO of Safe Ireland Mary McDermott and CEO of IBCB Marion Kelly discuss financial coercion and approaches to address it on the Claire Byrne show from the 33-minute mark HERE.
