On 26 October, a new law was introduced requiring all employers to take ‘reasonable steps’ to prevent sexual harassment. Does your business comply with the Worker Protection Act 2023? Find out how to protect your team and create a safer work environment here.
What else do we do?
We’re proud to lead on some ground-breaking projects that shine a light on some of the lesser-known areas of sexual violence.
We also create free online resources and support that are available to anyone.
Trauma and self-care: online course
We have created this free online course for anyone who wants to find more information on trauma and self-care.
It contains information on the impact of trauma and suggests techniques and creative tools that can help you to cope with some of these impacts.
Sibling sexual abuse support website
Sibling sexual abuse is considered to be one of the most common forms of child sexual abuse within the family setting in the UK.
We have created a website dedicated to supporting adult victim-survivors of sibling sexual abuse which includes a supportive community space, educational resources, therapeutic tools, self-care tips, victim-survivor stories and more.
Pause Play Stop online consent tool
Navigating the world of sex and consent can feel overwhelming, especially for young people.
That’s why we’ve created PAUSE PLAY STOP – a free, easy-to-use online tool designed to help students aged 13+ feel more confident and in control when it comes to sex and consent.

After isn’t After
A little while ago, we received a poem in our inbox. Its words thoughtfully captured a personal experience of sexual violence, and with the author’s permission, we’re sharing it here, knowing it may resonate with many of our followers and supporters.
