Empower
& Challenge

We create a safe spaces for vital
conversations amongst peer groups and empowers young people, helping to
reduce risks for victims and
potential perpetrators.

The programme has been developed by our in-house education team in partnership with safeguarding leads, schools and young people, statutory partners and those providing services and programmes for victims and perpetrators.

We were inspired to focus on this essential safety topic after hearing from Lisa Squire, the mother of Libby Squire who was abducted, raped and murdered in 2019 aged 21.

As a specialist education charity with qualified and experienced teachers, we are proud to be able to support educators, direct in their classrooms, helping deliver education on a difficult topic. We know the pressures on teachers to be specialists on a wide range of topics and having support on the complex topic of VAWG is a huge help. Sessions align with the national curriculum and help teachers, students and parents have wider conversations about VAWG and a deep understanding about consent, which police have highlighted to us a major issue for young people.
