Facts and Information

We provide material to inform survivors and others on issues surrounding sexual violation, including associated issues such as drug-facillitated sexual assault. We aim to act as a source of information and advice to central government, local authorities, educational establishments etc and to promote, encourage and/or facilitate research into and the study of social aspects related to rape, sexual assault and child sexual abuse.
 

Education

Central Scotland Youth Project

Using the premise that prevention is better than cure, we designed and developed a service for use within local secondary schools. It has been presented for several years now on an ongoing basis. The program is usually spread over 6 weeks. It addresses the issues surrounding violence of all kinds and aims to enable young people to become enlightened about violence, respect, rights, confrontation and the acceptance of responsibilities through exercises, use of a video and discussion groups.
 

Training and Public awareness

We aim to raise awareness of the cause and effect of sexual violation in order to change attitudes, by providing community education and professional training.
We promote the education, training and skills enhancement of individuals, who in the course of their work, may have contact with survivors, providing them with a better understanding of how to deal with related issues.
