Our Trainer- Linda Lewis

Linda is an independent Training Consultant with more than 10 years’ experience of providing training to Independent Sexual Violence Advisers (ISVA’s) and to ISVA Service Managers on a national basis. She understands how challenging these roles can be with along with the levels of responsibility and accountability they come with having Managed Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Services in the voluntary sector.

She has first-hand experience of developing a number of services to reflect the needs of survivors (male, female and children from the age of 5) who have experienced the trauma of rape or sexual abuse. During her career she has worked in partnership with local authority agencies and charities both locally and nationally. She represented her former Rape and Sexual Abuse Support agency at leading board meetings such as the development of a local SARC and in Safeguarding children in her region. She has also given input on national projects coming out of the Home Office.

Linda has provided training on many levels during her career as a Manager. She is PTLLS trained as well as being a Relationships and Sex Education training provider. Linda can create bespoke training packages for schools, colleges and parents on the subject of Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE) and consent. Linda can also create bespoke Sexual Harassment training to organisations from all sectors.

  • Pre-Trial Therapy for Victims of Rape or Sexual Abuse Training

    Pre-Trial Therapy for Victims of Rape or Sexual Abuse Training

    In 1998 the report given by the Home Office, ‘Speaking Up for Justice’, (Section 28), established that vulnerable and intimidated witnesses should not be denied the emotional support and counselling they may need before and after a trial. Furthermore the decision to offer counselling and support should be based on the needs of the victim. However, despite this, some vulnerable witnesses are still being denied access to pre-trial therapy and emotional support.

  • Understanding the Impact of Sexual Violence & How to Handle Disclosure (CPD Accredited)

    Understanding the Impact of Sexual Violence & How to Handle Disclosure (CPD Accredited)

    Victims-Survivors of rape and childhood sexual abuse often talk about the '2nd rape', a term often used by them to express their regret and disappointment after making a disclosure to a professional about their traumatic experience. It isn’t a matter of the professional deliberately trying to cause distress to their clients but more about them not understanding how trauma impacts a person.
