WMRSASC is able to offer wrap around support through their Children & Young Peoples Independent Sexual Violence Advisors (ChISVA) and Children’s Counselling Service. To ensure teachers, staff and governors are aware of the project, we offer a two hour training session, designed to increase their awareness of sexual violence as well as learning more about the project. "A project that was well pitched to challenge but not scare a year 9 group. WMRSASC supported the students to explore their own opinions and test out new ideas from the information presented. The materials and resources were well planned and well-structured and delivered in a way that led students though the project logically. From a teachers point of view it was great to have guest presenters who were not intimidated by a teenage audience and were able to respond appropriately to them. Students were thoroughly engaged and felt treated like adults encouraging them to behave fittingly." Secondary School Teacher Coming Soon!
