Our training courses are designed to be flexible, engaging, and interactive. We focus on helping you apply what you learn to your context.
Our courses are led by a highly experienced trainer with over 20 years of safeguarding experience, skills and knowledge from a multi-agency career background.
Survivor voice features strongly in our training. This lifts the theory off the page into the reality of survivor experience.
Our courses are delivered through the medium of English but there is an active choice of resources in the Welsh Language.

“Government [including statutory services] must also not shy away from some of the challenges that exist in small pockets within faith communities, from forced and coercive marriages to faith-based extremism, financial exploitation, and child safeguarding. These must not be consigned to the ‘too difficult’ box.” (Does Government’ Do God’? Colin Bloom 2023)
