How it Works
1Audit
We work in partnerships with universities across the UK, we start by facilitating informal listening sessions with students, wellbeing staff, academics, tutors, cleaners, door staff and everyone else who have something to say about the culture on campus
We then report back to the university to outline current strengths, pain points and recommendations moving forward
2Delivery
Following the audit, we work with you to select a series of services to build a package that might include:
- The creation of specialist policies
- The creation of specialist survivor pathways, that prioritise compassion and informed decision making
- Delivery of leadership training and engagement to encourage a positive peer-to-peer culture
- Trauma-informed communications to increase disclosure rates
- Workshops and training for staff and students from our wide and varied curriculum
- The creation of survivor networks
3Community of Practice
The universities we work with far exceed regulatory compliance. We celebrate those that work with us by bringing them together to share best practices and commit to continual learning and improvement
