Training & Consultancy

We provide training on the prevalence and realities of sexual violence and its effects on survivors, as well as consultancy support to organisations and businesses.

Our training and consultancy is expert delivered, trauma-informed and aims to embed an intersectional understanding of feminism.

Our training sessions are aimed at supporting anyone who may come into contact with survivors of sexual violence, abuse and/or harassment. Attending our training is especially important for professionals, as employers have a responsibility to ensure that their staff are appropriately trained and cared for when supporting survivors.
