Search for Learning and Development Services and Pathways

This full day course is run twice a year and will raise your awareness about sex work and develop your skills to effectively provide support. Delegates will develop practical skills and tools to help them to work directly with sex workers in addition to learning about the law, the national and local landscape and consider the diversity of experience of sex workers. Delegates will additionally consider the links between sex work and violence and abuse. The course will provide an overview of the work undertaken in the city, and how to refer to specialist services.

The impact of rape and sexual assault is varied and complex. Individuals react in different ways at different times and in the same way that no two people are the same, each person who has experienced sexual violence will react in a different way. Learning about the impact of rape and sexual assault will help anyone working with or supporting a survivor to gain a better understanding about what they may be experiencing. This course helps to challenge myths surrounding expected reactions to rape and sexual assault, and to understand the processes at play that may bring about different responses and reactions, in the moment and afterwards. We will go on to consider some practical ways in which we may respond, support that is available locally and nationally, and move on to reflect on the impact on us supporting someone who has been through these experiences.

This training day has been designed to develop participants’ knowledge and understanding of our legal system in relation to matters such as childhood sexual abuse and sexual violence, and what may arise when someone has reported such a crime to the police. At Survivors' Network we offer specialist independent support to survivors throughout the criminal justice process, so are able to offer unique, trauma-informed insights to what can be unfamiliar and sometimes seemingly complex processes.

This half day training course will give a foundation level understanding of sexual harassment and its impacts, tips for challenging sexual harassment and creating a positive workplace culture, and practical skills for supporting colleagues who have experienced sexual violence.

Stalking is a serious public protection and public health issue that affects the lives of an estimated 5,053,000 individuals every year. This means an ever-increasing pressure at grassroot level to respond effectively and efficiently to reports and disclosures of stalking as well as developing a more comprehensive multiagency model to manage the risk posed by stalkers. In turn, it inevitably means a need to improve knowledge, skills and access in this complex area.

Stalking campaigns are often build on small, seemingly isolated and low-level crimes. Early, well informed multiagency interventions are central to increase safety and wellbeing in addition to reducing reoffending and re-victimisation. Further challenges come in the way perpetrators are finding ever more innovative ways to target their victims, especially with the rise in cyber offending, and the significant amount of electronic tracking devices available for very little cost, and the increase in social media and web-based activities.
