Teenage relationship abuse learning event

We invite you to attend this professional learning event at the University of Leicester School of Business, featuring expert speakers and practitioners addressing teenage relationship abuse across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.

This event will showcase findings from a year-long initiative coordinated by Go-Getta and H.O.P.E Training, commissioned by the Police and Crime Commissioner. The programme has delivered workforce development and parent/carer training on teenage relationship abuse, its indicators, and contributing factors. Attendees will also hear directly from peer mentors who have produced a podcast series and short film, both of which will be presented during the event.
