Training for the education, public, charity, women’s, private and third sector
Our Sectors
We believe in the power of education to eradicate gender inequity by delivering widespread change to policies, procedures, understanding and attitudes. Through accredited training and consultancy for schools, businesses, organisations and survivor services, we empower communities to ensure every individual feels safe and supported.
Sexual violence is a term we use to describe any form of unwanted sexual behaviour. We each have a role within our communities to end sexual violence. That said, it’s common to feel uncomfortable, unsure or underprepared to discuss the topic. We may already have beliefs and ideas that need to be unpacked.
With our training, you’re taking important steps towards building an inclusive, fair space where everyone feels safe. You will help to shift mindsets, support survivors and ultimately prevent sexual violence. All our courses are CPD accredited, ensuring professional development with recognized credentials. As a CPD member, we commit to excellence in continuing education for your career advancement.
If you’d like guidance and advice with policy, procedures or creating cultural shifts, visit our Consultancy page to find out more.
University & Higher Education
For lecturers, university staff, youth workers, students, student union members
Our accredited training helps universities and higher education institutions to prevent and respond to sexual harassment, level up survivor support, teach consent and healthy relationships and create spaces that feel safe for all. We offer learning modules for pupils as well as ‘train the trainer’ sessions to empower staff to hold sessions themselves.
Secondary
For teachers, school staff, youth workers and pupils
At an age when young people are discovering more than ever about themselves and their place in the world, it is so important to guide and support them. Our training on pornography, consent and online safety can be delivered directly to students or we can train teams to hold the sessions themselves. Students emerge better equipped to understand healthy sexual relationships, to keep themselves safe online and to navigate these issues safely and responsibly.
Primary
For teachers, school staff, youth workers and pupils
Though not compulsory at primary school age, the Department for Education recommends that all primary schools have a sex education programme tailored to the age and physical and emotional maturity of the pupils. Our trainers can hold these sessions themselves or train primary school staff to teach about consent, healthy relationships and keeping yourself safe online.
Public Sector & Business
Professionals in healthcare, legal, emergency services and private sector employees
Our accredited training empowers businesses and public sector organisations to prevent and respond to sexual harassment, promote gender equality and create societal change.
Charity/Womens Sector
Professionals in the charity and women’s sector
As a women-run, feminist-governed organisation, we recognise the importance of training to help organisations in the charity and women’s sector change society. Our accredited courses for trustees, managers, leaders and chairs explore the values, responsibilities and governance structures that create impactful organisations.
CEO/Leadership Teams
Professionals working in the top levels of their business or organisation
Our accredited training focuses on empowering CEOs, trustees, management and senior leadership teams to promote gender equality, respond to sexual harassment, and create societal change within their organisation.
ISVA’s CHISVA’s IDVA’s and Advocacy
Frontline professionals supporting survivors of sexual violence
Our accredited training promotes better, safer and more effective advocacy and services for survivors by tending to the professional development and welfare of ISVAs, CHISVAs, IDVAs and other advocates.
Consultancy & Evaluations
Independent, impartial evaluation, training and consultancy
We are an independent organisation with our own team of trainers, consultants and evaluators. Though we support Rape Crisis organisations financially, no shareholders or directors of Rape Crisis have access to or influence over any of our work.
“Thankyou ICENA”
Thank you again for today’s training. I can’t remember the last time I came out of training so inspired and ready for action. So often training is death by PowerPoint and with nothing to take away other than worry and concern that you aren’t able to do something. This was so far from that. On the train, I planned two staff training sessions and worked out a program for our Year class and an individual in particular. Never done that before after training. Both sessions were fantastic.
