Ways of working

Our bespoke training starts from your context and stays accountable to the survivors you support. Which route we take depends on how close our existing workshops are to what you need.

Built from scratch

When nothing on our list fits, we design a new session or programme around your team, the survivors you work with and the change you want to see in practice.

Tailored from our workshops

When one of our workshops is close to what you need, we adapt it so that it speaks directly to your service, which can include:

  • your local pathways, policies and referral routes
  • case studies that reflect the communities you work with
  • the length, format and number of sessions
  • the roles and experience levels in the room

Our process

Step oneListening

We start with a conversation about your team, the survivors you support and what is prompting the request, so we understand the need before proposing anything.

Step twoScoping

Together we agree the outcomes, audience, format and timescales, and we send a written proposal so everyone is clear about what will be delivered.

Step threeDesigning

We build the content through Black feminist praxis and our anti-oppressive principles, drawing on your policies, data and local context wherever you share them.

Step fourReviewing

You see the draft before anything is delivered, and we refine it with you until it reflects your service and the communities it is there to serve.

Step fiveDelivering

We deliver in the room, online or as a hybrid, with facilitation that holds space for honest conversations about power, practice and accountability.

Step sixReflecting

After delivery we gather feedback, share what we heard, and talk with you about the support your team might need to keep the learning alive.

We have designed and delivered training for some of the UK's biggest charities, as well as local authorities and schools across the country.
