How it works.
Our training is focussed on the nuances of the hospitality, live music and events industries to explore how the root causes of sexual violence manifest in these sectors. We look at clearly identifiable ‘risks for perpetration’ in these spaces and teach tools to help teams all help mitigate the risk of sexual violence being perpetrated, normalized or going unnoticed.

Our training uses best practices and current research in sexual violence prevention with a unique lens for your industry. We ask that you reserve 3 hours for this workshop, which we know seems like a lot, but we promise it will be engaging and fly by.
Our training helps your staff to create a safer environment for both patrons and staff, a lens that only a few projects of this nature have. The content will depend on which level your establishment is at, and which workshop you have booked.
We can support you with sample invitation text, an agenda, and promotional materials, just ask.

You will receive collateral including posters and other print and digital materials to help communicate your commitment to staff and patron safety. You will also receive access to a digital library. We will send you a link to provide feedback on the workshop.
Depending on your pricing tier, you may also recive a copy of the slide deck and one hour of document support time to be used in the 6 months after the workshop. This can be used towards whatever you need support with - policy review or writing, evaluation, event plans or review of internal documents.
