Training Opportunities

Educating young people about healthy relationships and respect is essential. FREEDA collaborates with schools to:

• Provide age-appropriate workshops and educational programmes that teach students about the signs of domestic abuse and how to seek help.

• Empower students with knowledge about consent, boundaries, and respectful relationships.

• Train educators to recognise and appropriately respond to signs of abuse among students, ensuring they can provide the necessary support and resources.

Awareness is the first step towards change. FREEDA offers general awareness training to:

• Educate the public about the realities of domestic abuse, dispelling myths and reducing stigma.

• Equip individuals with the knowledge to recognise signs of abuse in their communities and provide support to those affected.

• Promote a culture of zero tolerance towards domestic abuse, encouraging community members to take a stand against it.

FREEDA offers awareness training and Lunch and Learn style presentations to businesses, community groups and government departments.

In our visit to you we will talk about our protection and prevention work in Jersey. We’ll also discuss the Domestic Abuse Law, the different types of abuse and how to spot them and what we can all do as a community to support victims and recognise signs of abuse.

We will be available for questions, advice and support during our visit to you, and at any point after, should you wish to contact us.

Please contact us to discuss your requirements.
