ASC Project

We’re helping professionals who come into contact with those affected by domestic abuse have the confidence to ASC.

We have produced and stock a variety of resources to help our ASC project.

Harder (our ASC film)

Harder is a film produced by Greenroom Films on behalf of MAV and the SVRU. We are happy for anyone to download and use this film.

It illustrates a few of the red flags you may notice if you meet a patient or client who is experiencing a form of domestic abuse. The film also summarises the AVDR method: Ask, Validate, Document, Refer (or signpost); we teach this method in our ASC training to encourage conversations on domestic abuse.
