On our training for licensed premises...
We’ve had at least 3 training sessions now and each one has been informative, sensitive and supportive. Every venue and event promoter should have this training!
Operations Manager, Corsica Studios, London
We learnt not to be afraid of speaking up. Putting mini scenarios into categories and working in a team was really helpful. It’s all about getting more confident and being more attentive to people who need support. I liked the participation and open conversation.

On our 'Safer Spaces for Event Organisers' workshop...
The accreditation workshop was so, so useful and very carefully curated to ensure that everyone was involved and listened to. I came out of it feeling confident and proud of the team for what we’d done in the session, and I’m looking forward to being able to invite the wider team to the next session for this year’s festival.

On our 'Responding with Compassion' workshop...
The training encouraged us to consider our own well-being when handling disclosures and broadened our perceptions of “justice.” It was in-depth enough to give everyone, regardless of their prior level of knowledge, the tools to respond in an appropriate and supportive way.

On our ongoing support for accredited spaces and events...
The support we received has been great – in terms of both specific guidance on policy that was tailored to our specific needs, and the training that was facilitated in an open, collaborative way with our team. We now have a full suite of carefully considered policies and a team that feels empowered to action them. We’d highly recommend that other organisations get involved with everything that GNO has to offer.

On our specialist training for Student Unions...
It was really interesting to work with you on this training and many of the students who attended found the second half particularly useful around responding to incidents in a bar environment.
