Why it matters

We are dedicated to ending violence and abuse through prevention programmes. Research, crime
statistics and data demonstrate why our work is needed:

  • 1 in 3 children will experience bullying (NSPCC)
      our radKIDS children's safety course empowers children to respond to
      bullying

  • 1 in 4 women will experience sexual assault or rape in their
        lifetime (CWSAU)
      our workshops and courses empower women to say 'no' and utilise
      their emotional and physical strength to stop anyone hurting them

  • 1 in 5 workers will experience violence or abuse doing their job
      (TUC)
      our workshops for lone workers and those who work anti-social hours
    focus on reducing risk, increasing awareness and diffusing tense
    situations so the opportunity for violence or abuse is removed.

  • 1 in 7 female students will experience physical violence or abuse
        during their time at university/college (NUS)
      we run workshops in colleges and universities which are tailored to the
    lifestyle and experiences of students which focus on harassment, clear
    communication and self esteem.

  • 33% of teenage girls is sexually assaulted by their boyfriend (NSPCC)

  • 44% of parents with teenage children have not spoken to them about sex (Ofsted/Teachers
    TV)
    our Speakeasy course helps parents to talk to their children about healthy relationships and sex by
    providing resources, information and support

"I did this course because after
personal experience of sexual
assault I needed to know how to
deal with this situation if it ever
happened again.

It has surpassed all of my
expectations and I feel much more
in control of my emotions.
Thank you so much."
