While we may be much more connected through the use of social media and other technologies, we may inadvertently leave ourselves vulnerable to abuse. To mark the 16 Days of Action for Domestic Violence, we are delighted to welcome Steve McNeill, Child Safeguarding Lead from the South Eastern Health and Social Care Trust. With 24 years experience working with children and families, Steve has a special interest in tech and how is might be used to stalk, threaten and control victims and survivors.
If you work with families in the Community and Voluntary or statutory sectors, this half day training is for you.
When: Friday 28th November 2025 9.30am – 1pm (registration from 9am)
Where: Mellon Country Inn, Beltany Road, Omagh

A purple event poster titled “Technology Facilitated Abuse” features a smartphone displaying a woman’s face wrapped in barbed wire. The event is scheduled for Friday 28th November 2025, from 9:30 am to 1 pm (registration from 9 am) at Mellon Country Inn, Omagh. The poster highlights how technology, while helpful, is increasingly used by abusers to stalk, harass, and monitor victims. The interactive session, facilitated by Steve McNeill (SEHSCT), will demonstrate real-time scenarios to inform and improve service responses. Contact Priscilla.magee@westerntrust.hscni.net to book. Logos of WHSCT, SEHSCT, CYPSP, and PSNI are included.
