EXPERT KNOWLEDGE BY LIVED EXPERIENCE SURVIVOR ADVOCATES
First-Hand Knowledge Saves Lives
Our trainers are survivors, lawyers, counsellors, and educators who’ve seen what
others have missed.
Their stories, insights, and practical tools create the foundation for every module – helping you see what grooming looks like, sounds like, and how it hides.
This isn’t just education – it’s protection, powered by lived experience and survivors of abuse.

Structure schedule
Our online training empowers you to recognise grooming before it escalates into abuse. Through 9 self-paced modules, you’ll learn:
How grooming behaviours develop and hide in plain sight. What to watch for in online spaces, classrooms, at home and extracurricular environments. Legal responsibilities and pathways. How to talk to your child about boundaries and body safety. If a child is being groomed, how to help them disclose, and how you can report. What parents of children in high-risk industries (like dance and entertainment) need to know.
Each participant receives the Downloadable PDF Take Away Action Guides, to use at home, in schools, or with community groups.
