This event is aimed at making the sector stronger and to learn about a woman centred approach. We ask that all who attend respect this intention as this is not provided as an opportunity to debate the various political views to this issue.

This course is delivered by a specialist frontline practitioner with substantial experience of working directly with women, as well as an in-depth understanding of policy, service creation and national context. The content is shaped by 20 years of practice and our continual bias of learning from women with Lived Experience.

This training is suitable for any professionals in the charity sector/anyone who wants to learn more or hear more about a woman-centred trauma-informed approach to working with women.

Spaces are limited for this interactive training, so booking is essential. We request a maximum of 2 places per project.
