Relationships without Fear
Relationships without Fear is an education and prevention programme that we deliver to schools, colleges and community groups in Staffordshire. The six-week programme aims to break the cycle of domestic abuse by reducing the likelihood of children and young people experiencing it in their current and future relationships.
The programme is aimed at children and young people from primary school to college age, with sessions tailored to match ages and abilities. This includes relevant and relatable group activities, discussions and resources.
We cover topics like: dealing with anger, safety planning, the effects of social media, gender stereotypes and more.
Each programme includes specialist delivery by a trained member of staff, professional resources and materials (including a workbook for each pupil), full evaluation for the school at the end, which evidences the impact of the programme and tracks outcomes.
We'll also respond to any disclosures during the session, including one-to-one support and referrals to other agencies.

XRoads
XRoads is a group programme which aims to show teenagers what healthy relationships look like, helping improving their own self-worth and confidence. The project also teaches young people about how to keep themselves safe, consent and how to access support.
In addition to the group work, we do a weekly drop in and encourage their families to look at what support is needed to move forward together once the programme has ended.

Teacher training
We run two hour training courses for teachers and leaders of youth groups and clubs, to help them recognise the signs of an unhealthy relationship, understand the impact, and how to confidently deal with disclosures.
