DAY CORE PRINCIPLES
We are passionate about giving you the tools to work with young people, equipping them to understand and address domestic abuse in their lives, their friend's lives and in the wider community. We want to encourage individuals and organisations to build on the foundations we have developed with DAY with their own ideas and innovation. So often we uphold structures to the detriment of the values with which the structures were created. In light of this we encourage DAY trained organisations and individuals to develop the DAY material, building on the DAY Core Principles to "PROCEED safely".
