Rebuild confidence. Reclaim power.

SCHOOLS & UNIVERSITIES

Courses for schools and universities are carefully tailored to suit the developmental needs of each student age group.

​

For instance, at primary school level, we focus on using our voices, thinking about risk, recognising potential dangers, the importance of telling a trusted adult, and prioritising safe escape — all conveyed through games and activities designed to facilitate the children's understanding.

​​

At secondary school level, we introduce topics such as online gender-based violence, assessment of risky behaviours, self-awareness, definitions of assault and harassment, the red flags of relationship abuse and grooming, physical defence strategies, and the importance of reporting concerns. The programme also highlights building confidence and self-worth, setting healthy boundaries and feeling comfortable with saying ‘no’.

​

University-level courses further expand upon these subjects, integrating advanced communication strategies for addressing unwanted behaviour across different situations, more detailed physical techniques for protecting oneself in a range of scenarios including spiking, and managing the common ‘freeze’ response associated with sexual assault.

​

All courses are delivered with sensitivity and care, recognising that some participants may have previously encountered assault or abuse and could find certain topics distressing. Engaging exercises reinforce key self-defence concepts while addressing the full spectrum of violence, from verbal harassment and emotional manipulation to physical abuse.

​

The core philosophy underpinning our approach is that effective self-defence begins well before any physical threat arises. Our focus is on empowering students, equipping them with the confidence, self-worth, and skills necessary to communicate their needs effectively and assertively.
