FREE violence reduction training available for NHW coordinators

Safer Hull has secured Violence Reduction funding on behalf of the four Community Safety Partnerships to deliver ‘Community in Motion’ training online across the region, starting in January 2023.

The training applies gendered analysis within the program as well as identifying that sexual violence can take place in all types of relationships.  The training does not take an approach that identifies men as perpetrators or potential perpetrators but focuses on leadership and identifies men as a big part of the solution but makes use of a creative bystander approach to promote much needed discussion amongst individuals on gender based violence (GBV). 

The aim of the training program is to raise awareness of sexual violence, how it can impact on the night-time economy and inspire personal leadership to prevent incidences of sexual violence. By the end of the training participants will be able to:

1. Discuss the extent of sexual violence in England and Wales
2. Discuss the myths that conspire against prevention and bystander action
3. List a number of inhibitors that prevent bystander intervention
4. Describe a range of tools and strategies that will support active bystander engagement.
5. Discuss responses to a person who discloses sexual violence

The training is open to Neighbourhood Watch Coordinators and the following sessions are available:

• Session 1 – 9th January 14.00 – 16.00
• Session 2 – 9th January 18.30 – 20.30
• Session 3 – 13th January 10.00 – 12.00
• Session 4 – 1st February 10.00 – 12.00
• Session 5 – 1st February 14.00 – 16.00
• Session 6 – 8th February 13.00 – 15.00
