Our training brings real experiences into the room.

Using immersive virtual reality built from interviews with women and LGBTQIA+ people, participants step into different experiences of a night out - building empathetic understanding of the impact of gendered violence and victim-blaming.

The training combines VR with interactive exercises and facilitated discussion, helping teams reflect on their responses, challenge assumptions, and explore how to better support those affected.

CREDITS

The Research & Development of this training was funded by Innovate UK.

“This training really highlights the importance of seeing the night-time economy through the eyes of those who experience it differently. As a city, we’re committed to maintaining a safe, welcoming and vibrant environment, and initiatives like this help businesses better understand their role in making that happen.”

CHERRY SHINE - MANAGING DIRECTOR, WOLVERHAMPTON BID

Taking part in the training has been incredibly valuable for our team. It gave our staff a deeper understanding of what a night out can feel like from a woman’s perspective - from arrival through to the subtle situations that can escalate if they’re not recognised. The VR element, combined with open discussion, helped our team reflect on their role in creating a safe environment. It’s not just about responding to incidents, but noticing the small moments and stepping in early.”

JOHN COOPER - GENERAL MANAGER AT GENTING CASINO

DOOR SUPERVISOR

“Frontline security staff are often the first to respond in the night-time economy, and the decisions they make can have a lasting impact on people’s safety. Training like this helps give them greater confidence to recognise and respond to situations appropriately.”
