This PDF was provided in advance of the webinar to offer suggestions of how to ensure attendees felt safe before, during and after the webinar. It includes a list of helplines and other resources that may be helpful, and could be useful if you are watching the webinar recording or engaging in further reflections on these topics.
STUDY QUESTIONS
A PDF of the questions submitted by attendees and others, that were thematically collated. These were used within the webinar and can be used in personal reflection or for groups wanting to collectively consider their thoughts and actions on situations of safeguarding and/or abuse perpetrated within a Christian context.
BIDERMAN BEHAVIOURS
During the webinar, Natalie took attendees through the Biderman Behaviours, a model she has developed from the work of Albert Biderman's Chart of Coercion (found HERE) to articulate how abusive behaviour operates. She generally uses this model throughout her work on domestic abuse, but layered spiritual abuse tactics onto it during the webinar. The Biderman Behaviours PDF and a PDF of her PowerPoint can both be downloaded.
