Our training brings real experiences into the room.
Using virtual reality built from interviews with women and LGBTQIA+ people aged 16-86, participants step into different experiences of public space - building empathetic understanding of the impact of gendered violence and victim-blaming.
The training combines VR with interactive exercises and facilitated discussion, creating space for policing, transport, and security teams to reflect on their responses, challenge assumptions, and explore how policy and practice can better support those affected.

CREDITS
The Research & Development of this training was funded by Innovate UK
"We get so focused on how we go about policing and how we answer the community’s needs...that we actually forget about our own empathy and understanding of how they’re feeling at the time. I think this drives it home."
SUPERINTENDANT SARAH TAMBLING - WEST MIDLANDS POLICE
"The training was fantastic in both relevance to my role and the information provided. "
POLICE CONSTABLE - SOUTH WALES POLICE
