Freedom Personal Safety is a
social enterprise established to
help women increase awareness of their
personal safety and understand what
they can do to protect themselves.
We are personal safety specialists and are trained
basic physical defence instructors. We run a 9 hour
course for women of all ages and abilities which is a
combination of discussion, advice and simple, but
effective, physical techniques to defend against sexual
assault or rape. We also run lively, interactive
sessions on personal safety.
We have been awarded funding by Unltd, the
Foundation for Social Entrepreneurs and Community
Champions to run a series of subsidised courses for
women in the North West of England, particularly
those from excluded groups or where crime levels are
high.
We plan to establish a network of instructors who can
teach the course to women in their communities.
Freedom Personal Safety is run by Elaine Howard and
Julie Tweedale, trained personal safety instructors
who have a range of experience in women's personal
safety tuition. Elaine is also an accredited tutor for the
Suzy Lamplugh Trust, and a member of their
continuing personal development scheme.
