Description

About the event

The #USVreact project has developed and evaluated unique training programmes across six European countries, to help university staff respond to disclosures of sexual violence. This one-day conference, held at Sussex University, will share the learning from our project and explore how disclosures can be dealt with in a variety of different institutional settings.

In the morning attendees will hear from our keynote speaker Dr Nina Burrowes, as well as from the researchers and a number of other speakers, including Sussex University Vice-Chancellor Professor Adam Tickell and Brighton University Vice-Chancellor Professor Debra Humphris. Attendees will also have an opportunity to ask questions and participate in discussion.

In the afternoon attendees will be able to attend workshops on manifestations of trauma, barriers to disclosure, reporting processes, and supporting the supporters. There will also be an opportunity to experience a ‘taster’ of our disclosure training.

The conference will be relevant to teachers, police officers, youth workers, violence against women practitioners, academics and others.

This conference is being organised in partnership with Survivors' Network, the Rape Crisis Centre for Sussex

The conference is also being support from Brighton & Hove City Council and East Sussex County Council, for whom responding to sexual violence is a shared priority.

She uses illustrated books, videos and live events to explain why abuse happens. Dr Burrowes works closely with investigators, prosecutors, barristers, and judges in England and Wales providing education and consultancy.
