Meet the trainer
“My areas of expertise include sexual abuse, domestic abuse, stalking, risk assessment and trauma-informed practice.
Prior to SARSAS, I worked for a domestic abuse service, initially providing direct support to victim/survivors and later designing and delivering training programmes. My combined experience of frontline support work and training experience enables me to deliver engaging, practical and insightful sessions.
Before working in the VAWG sector, I held various roles within HM Courts and Tribunals Service, gaining experience across management, legal administration and criminal operations.
My passion is in creating social change by inspiring others, which I hope to expand on in my role!”
Jade, SARSAS Trainer

Celebrating impact: our 2024 – 2025 report
We’re proud to share our Impact Report for 2024-2025; a reflection of the resilience, courage, and hope that defines SARSAS and the people we support.
Ending sexual violence without fueling hate
At SARSAS, we know that violence against women and girls (VAWG) is rooted in misogyny, inequality, power and control. It is not about immigration. That’s why we have joined over 100 women’s rights organisations in signing a joint letter with the End Violence Against Women Coalition (EVAW), against the weaponisation of VAWG.
