Meet the Trainer

Meet Jade, a specialist SARSAS trainer with extensive expertise in sexual violence prevention and trauma-informed practice. Combining expert knowledge with warmth, empathy, and a relatable approach, Jade delivers engaging training that empowers people, organisations, and communities to create safer, more respectful environments.

Listen to Jade speak on the important conversations shaping sexual violence prevention today, from consent and misogyny to the rise of tech-facilitated abuse.

1. We’re specialists: with years of experience supporting survivors of sexual abuse, we bring a unique and empathetic perspective to our training, grounded in lived experiences and survivor-centred practices that inspire meaningful behaviour change.

2. We’re trauma-informed: our expert facilitators create safe, inclusive learning spaces. Understanding the impact of trauma is key to ensuring participants leave our training with confidence to respond to disclosures in ways that truly support those affected.

3. Our training is evidence-based: our impactful programmes are rooted in research, focusing on what drives abuse, why it thrives in certain settings, and how to prevent it. Participants gain actionable skills and strategies to build safer, more inclusive spaces.

When she’s not delivering training across the country, Jade’s also dedicated to supporting survivors beyond the training room, including running the Bristol 10K to help raise vital funds for the survivors we work with and volunteering with a couple charities in the VAWG sector.
