Survivor Liaison Officer Refresher

Refresh and deepen the skills needed to support survivors of sexual violence in your organisation

Description

Sexual violence at work can have severe and lasting impacts on survivors, taking a toll on their physical and mental health. It can also lead to a hostile work environment, hinder productivity and create a culture of fear and distrust.

Having a trusted individual to provide a safe and knowledgeable point of contact between survivors, impacted family members and the organisation can help rebuild trust and begin the journey of healing.
