#itsnotok: Sexual Abuse and Sexual Violence Awareness Week 2020
The first week of February 2020 saw the annual campaign on Sexual Abuse and Sexual Violence Awareness Week.
SV2 kick-started the week by facilitating a web chat service on the SV2 website in support of the campaign’s fifth year. Later in the week, our Learning and Development Officer was out and about delivering a consent workshop in a local secondary school as well as co-delivering with Derbyshire County Council community training for ‘Let’s Talk about Sexual Abuse and Assault’.
The Independent Sexual Violence Advisors from SV2 had also been engaging with service users in the weeks leading up to the event by using the ‘itsnotok because…’ posters. Both adults and children expressed in their own words why #itsnotok.
Local football club, Chesterfield FC, also showed their support in raising awareness of SV2’s services during a home match against Wrexham.
Thank you to everyone who participated over the week.
