What does real change around sexual and gender-based violence look like?
Are e-learning modules really enough to make a difference?
In this episode, Chris East talks with Ruth Heneke Eliot, Co-Founder of Training Works, about how institutions can go beyond tick-box training and policies that protect their reputation to create genuine, trauma-informed cultures of safety.
They cover:
Is a simple click-through training enough?
How policies can focus on supporting survivors, not just protecting institutions.
The importance of relationships and sexuality education in preventing harm.
Why safeguarding needs to protect everyone - students, staff, and communities.
This is essential listening for anyone who wants to move from ticking boxes to making real cultural change.
