LimeCulture today launches its new accredited course the Sexual Violence Liaison Officer (SVLO) Development Programme. The aim of the course is to improve the confidence and competence of designated staff within Universities and Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), to be known as Sexual Violence Liaison Officers (SVLO), to respond appropriately to students or staff members who have experienced sexual violence, either recently or non-recently.
LimeCulture’s comprehensive 2-module course has been developed in partnership with the University of Greenwich and Keele University and aims to equip key University and HEIs staff with the knowledge and specialist skills to identify risk and appropriately support the needs of students and staff who are victims of sexual violence.
Each module contains a comprehensive syllabus of challenging content designed to equip University and HEI staff with the practical skills and knowledge to enable them to respond appropriately to those who disclose sexual violence. This course will also provide University and HEI staff with the expertise to embed and influence practice in their organisation’s response to sexual violence.
Course Content
This accredited course has been designed to be delivered over six days. Each of the 2 modules is taught over three consecutive days to minimise the amount of time staff are away from their Universities/HEIs.
Module 1: Understanding how to communicate with victims of sexual violence
and assess and manage risk
Module 2: Understanding how to work in partnership with other organisations who are supporting victims of sexual violence and the Criminal Justice process
