Halloween can be a really fun night, but for survivors of trauma who have to contend with scary experiences, it can also be quite difficult. Gory or graphic costumes, jump scares and even knocking at the door can cause significant anxiety to survivors, so please be mindful about how you spend your night and check in on those friends who may be struggling. If you're feeling anxious, please feel free to use one of our self resources to ground yourself, manage flashbacks and understand what's happening: https://buff.ly/47tRdfz

The Worker Protection Act 2023 is an amendment of the Equality Act 2010, and places a duty on employers and workplaces to proactively prevent sexual harassment. Our new course will help you understand what sexual harassment is, as well as how to identify it, what you can do to prevent it and how to manage reports.

In a week where new legislation for employers should make everyone safer from sexual harassment at work, sadly we find that the same old victim-blaming myths about sexual assault are still alive and well. Unless we all recognise these, and consistently challenge them, wherever we find them, we can never truly have a society that empowers victims to seek support or redress for their devastating experiences.
