Some feedback from participants:

"Thank you very much for arranging the evening... I'm a student nurse and can carry the knowledge gained going forwards to support victims not only in an acute setting but while working in the community. I loved the creativity and different ways imagined to support victims. It was very inspiring...What I found particularly useful was gaining an insight into the legal human rights of those individuals. I did not have the first clue about challenging this before the meeting.  It is very much my intention to advocate for all my patients so this information was extremely useful."

“Inspiring and impactful film, love hearing survivors’ voices…I will take some of this away and refer to it in the work I deliver. Thanks.”

“It’s clear that more training is needed in how to sensitively work with victims and to share knowledge between police forces.”
