Welcome to our Training Centre! We have training courses available for Faith Based, Statutory or Voluntary Organisation contexts.
Our training courses are designed to be flexible, engaging, and interactive, helping you apply the knowledge, skills and experience shared within the training to your context.
Our courses are led by a highly experienced trainer with over 20 years of Safeguarding experience, skills and knowledge from a multi agency career background.
Survivor voice features strongly in our training as this lifts the theory off the page into the reality of survivor experience.
Our courses are delivered through the medium of English but there is an active choice of resources in the Welsh Language.
We offer multiple ways to access our courses and these are outlined below.
This is beneficial if you have between 10 and 25 people to train at once. Commissioning directly can be useful where training needs to be tailored to a specific context.
Current capacity means we can only deliver online at the moment.
For an additional charge we can manage bookings and the distribution of training resources.

A series of shorter training sessions can give a greater flexibility to your workforce. We understand the pressures on capacity if a member of staff attends a full day of training.
We can offer a tailored approach, adjusting the duration of each session and the intervals between sessions to your context.

Statutory and Voluntary Sector – The implications of Spiritual Abuse for practice £29.99 per delegate
Faith Based Organisations – Spiritual Abuse and Healthy Cultures £29.99 per delegate
This is beneficial where you have individual delegates or a small number of delegates that need training. This option also provides flexibility due to a choice of multiple dates.
To ensure our training remains financially viable we reserve the right to cancel training and offer delegates alternative dates where less than 10 people are booked onto non-commissioned training.
Delegates can book on to these courses by using the Eventbrite links below:
“For millions of people, faith and belief informs who they are, what they do and how they interact with their community, creating strong ties that bind our country together.” (Does Government ‘Do God’? Colin Bloom 2023)
“Government [including statutory services] must also not shy away from some of the challenges that exist in small pockets within faith communities, from forced and coercive marriages to faith-based extremism, financial exploitation, and child safeguarding. These must not be consigned to the ‘too difficult’ box.” (Does Government’ Do God’? Colin Bloom 2023)
There is a growing recognition that where safeguarding categories and cases involve faith experiences, coercion and control in a religious context (i.e. spiritual abuse) is often an integral part of the picture.
Join us for a research and evidence based discussion event on the implications for practice within Statutory and Voluntary sectors.
Spiritual Abuse is becoming recognised as a major safeguarding issue within faith organisations.
This course explores what Spiritual Abuse is, what impact it has, how we need to respond and how creating healthy faith cultures can help minimise the risk of Spiritual Abuse or other safeguarding issues occurring.
This course will provide an in-depth exploration of the survivor journey from recognition through disclosure and response, to accessing support and therapy.
The course will explore the impact of abuse and trauma within faith and the support needs associated with this impact. The course will examine best practice, research messages and survivor voice to enable effective support.
This course will be run with a Faith Organisation focus or with a Secular Organisation focus.
There is also scope for this course to be further specialised to focus on Police, Social Services or Health functions.
Schools and University
When young people first leave home and make their first steps into the world with less support from significant adults this can bring vulnerability.
This Awareness Raising and Preventative training will equip young people in their understanding of what healthy faith organisations look like and where they can seek support if they have concerns.
