Workshops

Due to the developing situation regarding COVID-19 and the Government’s guidance, we are delivering all training online. Face to face workshops at will resume as soon as we are able.  

Please email [email protected] for more information.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. 

Our 1-day workshops are appropriate for professionals, students or anyone who works directly or indirectly with victims-survivors of rape and childhood sexual abuse. Our training focuses on an ethos of encouraging sensitive and improved responses to victims-survivors and their families whenever contact is made. All of our workshops are person-centred and teach a trauma-informed response. Training is held in our office in Rugby, Warwickshire but can also be delivered at external locations of your choosing. Please get in touch to discuss this option. 

The Survivors Trust promotes effective responses to rape and sexual abuse on a local, regional and national level and have worked with key offices and organisations such as the Home Office, Ministry of Justice, NHS-England, the Police and Crown Prosecution Service. We offer bespoke packages for schools, colleges and parents on the subject of Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE) and consent. We also offer bespoke Sexual Harassment training to larger organisations.
