Higher Education & Universities Courses

 

We work with both student communities and teaching, welfare and management staff in universities, student bodies and higher education spaces. Recent clients include the University of Essex, Lancaster University, Anglia Ruskin University and the University of London.

 

In our courses for young adults, we create a safe place for them to discuss activism and bystander approaches, misogyny in communities, consent and sexual violence.

 

For teaching and welfare teams, our courses raise awareness of sexual misconduct, harassment and violence, exploring how to respond to disclosures, including first disclosures, and how to offer continued support to survivors.

 

For senior management, we offer courses on tackling misogyny, sexism, sexual misconduct, harassment and violence at universities. Courses contain step-by-step guides with tools and resources to prevent and even eradicate misconduct.

Primary & Secondary Schools Courses

At secondary school level, we work with students and young people and their teachers and pastoral care teams.

Our courses give participants the skills and confidence to have empowering conversations with young people about complex issues. We cover lesson plans, how to create a safer space for young people and how to respond to common questions or comments, using our real-life case studies.

At primary school level, we work with school staff, teachers, social workers and safeguarding teams. Our courses deliver practical advice and tips for having conversations with young children about challenging topics in an age-appropriate and safe manner. The goal is to create safer communities for children and give them an early understanding of consent and the issues surrounding it.

Education Sector Case Studies

  • We worked with Anglia-Ruskin University to set up a student and survivor-led body responsible for consent and healthy sexual relationship communication for the student population.
  • Working in partnership with CARA Essex and young survivors of sexual violence, we produced a series of animated videos to help teachers and education professionals understand the impact of sexual violence on children and young people.
  • We worked with Avanti Schools Trust and its students to develop a new, student-led safeguarding and first disclosure policy. The goal was to help student survivors feel seen and safe and to encourage more first disclosures so that young people can access the support and guidance they need.
