VAWG & Safeguarding Training
Practical Training, Consultancy and Bespoke Course Development
Our Violence Against Women and Girls training helps organisations understand the role they can play in preventing and responding to harassment, sexual harassment, stalking, spiking, vulnerability and other behaviours that can make people feel unsafe.
Our approach is practical, inclusive and focused on giving people the confidence to know what they can do when something doesn’t feel right.

What VAWG Training Can Help Your Teams Do
Training can help employees:
Recognise indicators of vulnerability and concerning behaviour.
Understand VAWG and its impact.
Recognise sexual harassment and inappropriate behaviour.
Understand spiking and associated vulnerability.
Safely intervene and provide support.
Improve communication and bystander/upstander confidence.
Understand safeguarding responsibilities.
Know when and how to escalate concerns.
Improve reporting and recording.
Signpost individuals towards appropriate support.
Safeguarding & Vulnerability Training
Safeguarding can affect almost every customer-facing organisation.
Employees may encounter someone experiencing exploitation, harassment, domestic abuse, mental health concerns, intoxication or another form of vulnerability without immediately recognising what is happening.
Our training helps teams recognise the signs, confidently approach situations and take proportionate action within the boundaries of their role and organisational procedures.
Programmes can be developed for retail, hospitality, hotels, security, licensed premises, stadiums, events, public spaces and the daytime and night-time economy.

Bespoke VAWG & Safeguarding Training
Don’t See the Course You Need? We Can Build It.
One of our key strengths is the ability to design and develop training around your organisation, people and objectives.
We can work with your organisation from initial concept through to the finished training programme. This can include:
Training needs analysis.
Stakeholder consultation.
Learning outcomes and curriculum design.
Research and subject-matter expertise.
Scenario and case-study development.
Organisational policies and procedures.
Bespoke eLearning development.
In-person training programmes.
Train-the-Trainer programmes.
Immersive and VR learning.
Supporting materials and resources.
Evaluation and impact measurement.
VAWG Strategy & Project Support
We can also bring together relevant stakeholders and subject-matter experts to help ensure the programme reflects different perspectives and operational realities. This means you’re not simply buying a course – you’re accessing expertise to help design the right intervention for the problem you’re trying to solve.
Training is sometimes only one part of the solution.
We can work with organisations, local authorities and partnerships to help develop wider approaches to VAWG, safeguarding and vulnerability, combining training with practical interventions, communications, reporting, resources and partnership engagement.
Our experience enables us to help organisations move from: Awareness → Training → Intervention → Reporting → Partnership → Impact
We can support projects from the initial idea and stakeholder consultation through to implementation, launch and evaluation.

Speaking topics can include:
Tackling VAWG through partnership.
Creating safer public spaces.
Safeguarding within the night-time economy.
Recognising vulnerability.
Spiking awareness and prevention.

Experience Built Through Partnership
Sessions can be adapted to suit anything from a short keynote or panel discussion to an interactive workshop or full conference session.
We believe some of the strongest solutions are created when organisations listen, collaborate and share expertise.
Our work has involved partnerships and engagement across policing, government, local authorities, security, retail, hospitality, sport, the night-time economy and community safety, giving us an understanding of the different challenges organisations face when turning VAWG and safeguarding strategies into practical frontline action.
That experience allows us to bring together training expertise, operational knowledge, stakeholder engagement and practical implementation rather than looking at vulnerability and safeguarding from one perspective.
