The DAfree Journey
Nine levels of awareness.
Every step unlocks resources. You level up by engaging with the community, learning and sharing.
Level 1
New Voice
Welcome to the community. We start with the basics: why we say domestic abuse rather than domestic violence, and why it matters.
Unlocks the first awareness course.
Level 2
Awarer
Deepening our understanding of coercive control: recognising the signs, exploring how it feels, and its direct and indirect impacts.
Unlocks the Coercive Control Awareness course.
Level 3
Passionate
Exploring feminist theories of domestic violence, and why an open mind matters: abuse can affect anyone, regardless of gender.
Engage in discussions and support others.
Level 4
Committed
Domestic abuse through a legal lens: how the UK led with legislation, the Domestic Abuse Act 2021 and the global legal framework.
Is the law enough to prevent harm before it happens?
Level 5
Ambassador
Post-separation abuse: why ending a relationship does not always end the abuse, for women and men alike.
Officially recognised as a DAfree community Ambassador.
Level 6
Advocate
The effects of domestic abuse on children: physical, psychological, behavioural and developmental.
Speak out, educate others and drive positive change.
Level 7
Leader
Why so many victims face challenges in the criminal justice system, and why many hesitate to report abuse.
Guide members, host sessions and mentor newcomers.
Level 8
Champion
One of the most hidden forms of abuse: intimacy used as a tool of power within relationships.
Lead campaigns, initiatives and awareness events.
Level 9
Legacy
The highest level. We look at the lack of rehabilitation programmes for perpetrators, and how that keeps the cycle going.
Recognised for your contribution to long-term change.
