A guide to what we offer: trainings, lessons and workshops

Many of our workshops are provided free of charge to state schools and groups without budgets.
All our workshops are delivered with facilitators from affected communities and this makes learning very powerful.

 

Safeguarding for school staff

We recommend your whole staff team participates in our specialist safeguarding training before these subjects are tackled in the classroom, in case there are disclosures of harm.

  • FGM 
  • ‘Honour’-based abuse (HBA) and forced marriage 
  • Online harms
  • Spiritual abuse 
  • Expectations, sexism and misogyny
