I am really pleased to let you know that we have updated our award winning prevention platform and re-launched it today as ‘Ask AVA’.
The original platform was developed after several years of research into what works in violence against women and gilrs prevention work. We evaluated work taking place around the UK in a variety of schools and non-formal education settings. Schools clearly told us that they wanted one place where there could get up to date information, training, resources and best practice and so we created the platform. It is used widely across the country as well as by the Met Police Safer Schools Officers. We have won two awards and it has been named as the VAWG sectors official platform for prevention work.
This is timely as all schools will have to provide mandatory RSE from September 2020, with some starting this year. Ask AVA gives them all the tools and resources to be able to do this, including our searchable data-base of lesson plans and resources.
Please share widely, and do let me know if you would like to write a blog, or add to our resources database.
