Training

Specialist Training Calendar April 2010-March 11 [opens in a new window]
2010 sees the introduction of our newly developed two-day workshop focusing on working with survivors of sexual violence.

How we work

Tyneside Rape Crisis Centre offers opportunities for local professionals every year to participate in comprehensive and informative multi-disciplinary training days on some of the issues around working with women survivors of sexual violence.

The one day courses are specifically designed for workers who wish to increase their awareness and confidence in dealing with the issues and want to consider ways of supporting survivors sensitively and effectively.
