LimeCulture hosts seminar for schools on addressing sexual misconduct

LimeCulture was delighted to host an online seminar that brought together more than 30 schools across the country to explore a whole-school approach to preventing and responding to sexual misconduct.

Schools were welcomed to the event by LimeCulture’s Chief Executive Stephanie Reardon, who highlighted the challenges that schools are facing when dealing with these often highly complex and sensitive cases. However, following the explosion of testimonials published on the Everyone’s Invited website in early 2021, and the subsequent rapid review conducted by Ofsted into the level of sexual harassment within our schools and colleges, it is clearer than ever that schools have a crucial role in protecting children and young people from sexual misconduct, both on and off line.

Stephanie emphasised the importance of embedding a whole-school approach that incorporates both prevention and response to sexual misconduct, before handing over to LimeCulture’s Head of Training, Maria Putz, to share learning from developing and piloting LimeCulture’s Sexual Misconduct Prevention and Response Model.

Seeking to transform their response to incidents of sexual misconduct, over 30 schools are already implementing the SMLO model and almost 80 have engaged in our prevention programmes.

Our whole-school approach to sexual misconduct brings together LimeCulture’s sector-leading SMLO response model that equips schools and colleges to effectively support pupils/students affected by sexual misconduct, with our prevention programme to train teachers to confidently and competently deliver sensitive content to young people on healthy relationships, consent, and other related topics throughout Key Stages 1-5.

Maria began by explaining how critical it is that schools and colleges can respond appropriately, sensitively and consistently to a child who discloses sexual abuse. The role of the SMLO was developed by LimeCulture and piloted with The Perse School in Cambridge in 2021, and embeds a cadre of highly trained staff across the school that have been equipped, through training, to appropriately support reporting and reported pupils/students in an educational setting. Importantly, the SMLO role is designed to complement and integrate with the role of the Designated Safeguarding Lead, and support schools to meet their safeguarding obligations and duties.

Maria went on to explain LimeCulture’s suite of Preventing Sexual Misconduct in Education (PSME) Programmes developed to support teachers and those delivering the RSE curriculum. These programmes are supported by additional resources, lesson plans, and adaptations for teachers of children with special educational needs and disabilities.

Embedding the SMLO model in practice

Emma Rothwell, Assistant Head (Inclusion, Equality and Diversity), DSL and Chaplain at The Perse School in Cambridge, then shared her experiences of embedding the SMLO model across her school. Emma outlined some of the key drivers that led The Perse to transform the way they respond to sexual misconduct as a school, as well as offering important insights about some of the challenges they have overcome. Emma explained the positive impacts SMLO support has had on pupils, staff, and the wider school community. Emma reflected on the importance of understanding the power of fear and shame in children’s willingness to disclose sexual misconduct, and emphasised valuing compassion and leadership among both pupils and staff to drive both cultural and system change.

Best practice in dealing with child-on-child abuse

David Smellie and Sophia Coles from Farrer and Co’s Safeguarding Unit discussed key considerations for schools in being proactive when dealing with child-on-child abuse, which are often complex and extremely sensitive. David used a case study to underline the importance of regular risk assessment and ongoing safety planning in such cases, both for the disclosing/reporting child and the alleged perpetrator/reported child. This is particularly important when both children remain in the same school, and where a criminal offence may have been committed and other agencies are involved.

In a wider look at current challenges, Sophia explored strategics to support schools in recognising and positively addressing misogyny. Sophia highlighted the importance of being alert to new and emerging misogynistic trends that may impact both the behaviours and attitudes of boys, and the need for schools to take a robust approach underpinned by sound safeguarding practices to tackle the impact of these attitudes and behaviours.

Sharing practice

Delegates were encouraged to ask questions throughout the presentations and the questions they asked prompted energetic discussion and further explored how the SMLO role works alongside the Designated Safeguarding Lead in responding to concerns and referring for support; how SMLOs work within the constraints of the criminal justice system; and how social media discussions among pupils about individual cases of sexual misconduct can best be managed.

Prioritising mental health and well-being

Our final speaker, Alicia Drummond from the Wellbeing Hub and founder of Teen Tips, focused on the impacts of sexual misconduct incidents on the mental health of the pupils and staff involved. Alicia provided extremely useful insights into how very important it is for children and young people’s mental health and well-being to feel safe and secure within their school environment. She helpfully outlined some of the indicators of PTSD, making it clear that different individuals will respond differently to traumatic events and the importance of schools taking a trauma-informed approach.

Transforming our response

LimeCulture’s Chief Executive, Stephanie Reardon, said of the event:

“Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to our event today. I was delighted to welcome so many schools to this important discussion of best practice in supporting children and young people who have been affected by sexual misconduct.

“Schools undeniably face huge challenges in dealing with these complex issues day-to-day and play a critical role in building safer cultures for our children, both now and as they move into adulthood. High quality prevention and response work are so very important, and it is fantastic to hear how schools have embraced the SMLO model and prevention programmes, and the huge impact this is now having on pupils’ trust in their school’s approach to sexual misconduct, and the confidence and competence on the part of school staff to respond.”

LimeCulture Launches Refresher Training for ISVAs

Since LimeCulture was established back in 2011, LimeCulture has been at the forefront of providing comprehensive training to Independent Sexual Violence Advisers (ISVAs). Our training journey began in September 2011, with the launch of our accredited ISVA Development Programme, delivered to the first cohort of exceptional ISVAs – some of whom continue to work in ISVA services to this day.

Over the course of the last 12 years, LimeCulture has emerged as the preferred training provider for the majority of ISVA services across England and Wales. Year after year, we have consistently delivered the ISVA Development Programme to between 125-150 new ISVAs each year, ensuring they are equipped with the essential skills and knowledge required to navigate the complex landscape of supporting victims/survivors of sexual violence.

Recognising the dynamic nature of the work ISVAs undertake, LimeCulture has continuously evolved the ISVA Development Programme to align with the changing landscape. Our team of trainers, many of whom have themselves worked as ISVAs, rigorously monitor and update our programme content on an ongoing basis. This ensures the ISVA Development Programme remains current, incorporating up to date materials and case studies that mirror the latest practices and emerging trends.

At LimeCulture, we firmly believe that ISVA training should not be a one-time occurrence. Continued professional development is critical for ISVAs to strengthen and expand their knowledge and expertise, and to be a strong voice at the table for their clients. Therefore, alongside our core ISVA Development Programme, we created a suite of Electives. These Electives complement the core training offered within the ISVA Development Programme, giving ISVAs the opportunity to specialise further and acquire skills tailored to supporting specific client groups.

The feedback from ISVAs regarding our Electives has been overwhelmingly positive and we continue to develop new courses to support ISVAs to develop professionally. However, we’ve also heard from experienced ISVAs (and Managers) about their need for updated core training. They have highlighted the evolving nature of the ISVA role and the importance of staying abreast of the latest operational practices and developments.

As such, LimeCulture is excited to introduce our new ISVA Refresher Programme. This two-day accredited course is designed specifically for ISVAs who have previously completed their core ISVA training, providing them with the chance to refresh their knowledge and skills. It also provides them with the opportunity network with other experienced professionals, and gain insights into the latest developments in the field.

This refresher course, alongside our Electives, demonstrates LimeCulture’s commitment to ensuring that ISVAs receive not only foundational training but also continuous support and updated knowledge throughout their careers. Based on insights from ISVAs and ISVA Managers, LimeCulture recommend that ISVAs refresh their core training at least every 3 years.

Our goal at LimeCulture remains unchanged: to empower ISVAs with the tools, expertise and ongoing training they need to navigate the challenging and ever-changing landscape of supporting victims/survivors of sexual violence.

For more information about the ISVA Refresher Programme, please visit the training pages of our website

The first delivery of the new 2-day ISVA Refresher Programme will take place online on 20 and 21 May 2024. To book your place, please complete our online booking form.

 

 

Cheers to 2023! Reflecting on this year’s highlights

Christmas is just around the corner, and we’re approaching the end of another busy and successful year! LimeCulture would like to take this opportunity to thank our invaluable partners, clients, colleagues, and friends for supporting us through 2023, which has been another remarkable year for LimeCulture.

Once again, we have expanded our offering of training and consultancy services; moving into new sectors and working with new clients, as well as maintaining our footprint within our existing sectors, and continuing to work alongside our loyal and valued customers and partners.

We have been privileged to be involved in a wide range of work again this year. It would be impossible to cover all our work in this blog, but some of our highlights from 2023 are:

Behind LimeCulture’s success, are the exceptional individuals who make up our team. Their unwavering dedication, unparalleled expertise and talent are the driving force behind our ability to consistently deliver and exceed our clients’ expectations. This year, we have appointed some fantastic individuals to join our incredible team to help us deliver on our 2022 – 2025 strategy, and together, we have made significant strides to further strengthen our ways of working, expand our skill set and enhance our knowledge in specialist areas. We’re ending the year in a strong position, much clearer, more efficient, and exceptionally effective.

During 2023 we have:

  • reviewed and strengthened our governance arrangements in the successful appointment of four impressive Non-Executive Directors to help support and shape our future direction of travel,
  • commissioned Manifestive, an external creative engagement agency to work with us to support our development and growth by strengthening our vision, mission, values and organisational culture,
  • invested time and energy into staff engagement, training, and development to enhance our individual and collective skills, knowledge, and confidence, to ensure that our workforce continues to be our biggest asset,
  • established a new Health and Wellbeing Steering Group to develop and implement our first Health and Wellbeing Strategy for our workforce.

As we move into 2024, we are very excited for the New Year and all that it promises to bring.

From all of us at LimeCulture, we wish each of you a peaceful festive break.

We look forward to seeing you in 2024.

New guidance for universities on embedding the Sexual Violence Liaison Officer model

LimeCulture has published new guidance for higher education institutions (HEIs) seeking to develop and embed Sexual Violence Liaison Officer (SVLO) support.

The guidance aims to support HEIs considering how best to embed SVLO support by clarifying the key roles and responsibilities of the SVLO role, setting out important considerations for ensuring the safe and effective SVLO provision, and capturing learning and insights from HEIs that have already successfully embedded SVLO models.

It also seeks to support HEIs that have already introduced SVLO support by sharing good practice and identifying further steps that can be taken to ensure SVLO provision is fully embedded in the institutional response to sexual violence.

The SVLO model was first developed by LimeCulture in 2016 in partnership with Keele University and the University of Greenwich, and today SVLOs are working within HEIs all across the UK to provide support, information and help to students and staff affected by sexual violence. LimeCulture has trained over 500 SVLOs across more than 80 HEIs, and those in SVLO roles increasingly play a critical role in transforming their institution’s response to sexual violence and creating a safe and inclusive culture.

Sam Whyte, Director of Sexual Violence and Education Services at LimeCulture, said:

“LimeCulture is privileged to work within higher education to transform the sexual violence response, and we believe that embedding specialist SVLO support is an essential lynchpin in an effective whole-institution response to sexual violence.

“We’re delighted to be able to publish this new guidance in response to the many HEIs that have sought our advice on how to successfully embed the SVLO model of support. It was fantastic to collaborate with so many SVLOs, SVLO managers and senior university leaders in developing the guidance, and to be able to capture their considerable insights from delivering SVLO support alongside our own experience and learning. We hope that this guidance will show what is possible, and encourage more institutions to commit the time, resources and effort needed to put in place the best possible SVLO support for those affected by sexual violence.”

LimeCulture hosts 3rd national conference for Sexual Violence Liaison Officers

LimeCulture was excited to host the third national conference for Sexual Violence Liaison Officers (SVLOs) in Birmingham on 9 November 2023, bringing together SVLOs from across the country to discuss emerging trends and challenges, share innovation and good practice, and celebrate their successes.

Stephanie Reardon, LimeCulture’s Chief Executive, said of the event, “We were absolutely delighted to welcome so many SVLOs from across the UK to our 3rd national SVLO conference and to hear from so many delegates about the incredible work they are doing to support students and staff.

“The focus we are currently seeing across the Higher Education sector to prevent and respond to cases of sexual misconduct is hugely important and we’re thrilled that the SVLO workforce is increasing in size and recognition. LimeCulture will continue to support and champion the SVLO workforce in transforming the response to sexual misconduct within universities.”

At the conference

The conference was superbly chaired by Professor Susan Lea, who opened the event with her own reflections on the evolution of the response in the UK’s Higher Education sector over the last decade, and the transformative work undertaken by SVLOs in more than 80 universities to prevent and respond to sexual violence.

During Session 1, delegates heard from Sarah Bevan from Universities UK and Jill Stevenson, Chair of AMOSSHE – The Student Services Organisation about the growing expectations of universities to respond to sexual violence and what this means for SVLO services.

In Session 2, Stephanie Reardon, LimeCulture’s Chief Executive, launched new guidance to support Higher Education Institutions to successfully develop and embed Sexual Violence Liaison Officer models. The guidance brings together the essential foundations of the role with learnings and insights from LimeCulture’s work with more than 80 HEIs, and has been developed in partnership with SVLOs, SVLO co-ordinators, and senior university leaders.

In Session 3, LimeCulture’s Head of Training, Maria Putz, considered the interaction between university sport and SVLOs within HEIs, and the very real risks posed both to individuals and to the HEIs response to sexual violence where these are not effectively integrated, and inappropriate cultures may be allowed to flourish. Maria took delegates through some of LimeCulture’s recent work in this area to safeguard and promote the wellbeing of students, volunteers and staff in university sport.

Roundtable discussions in Session 4 gave delegates the opportunity to explore with their peers the emerging trends and challenges for their institutions. Delegates shared and discussed insights and innovations from their own professional practice in tackling some of the issues relating to sexual misconduct cases.

 

After lunch, the focus of the conference shifted to celebrating good practice and innovation.

Speakers from the SVLO services at the University of Manchester, University of Greenwich, and University of Law showcased the work they are doing within each of their SVLO services to support both reporting and reported students and enable the wider university response to sexual violence.

 

 

 

 

 

 

PAPYRUS, the national charity dedicated to the prevention of young suicide, spoke to delegates about effective strategies to prevent, intervene and respond to suicide in universities as part of a wider mental health strategy.

 

The LimeLight Awards 2023

To close the day, Professor Susan Lea presented this year’s LimeLight Awards, established in 2016 to recognise and celebrate the outstanding contributions and achievements of SVLOs.

LimeCulture establishes Professional Network for ISVA Managers

Over the last 12-18 months, LimeCulture has received multiple requests to establish a Professional Network that brings together Managers from the range of ISVA services operating across England and Wales. We are delighted to have now secured funding that will allow us to take this initiative forward.

LimeCulture already hosts a Professional Network for sexual violence service Commissioners and a Professional Network for ISVAs supporting people with Learning Disabilities. Both Professional Networks have been operating for more than a year and are extremely well attended. Furthermore, LimeCulture has received overwhelmingly positive feedback from members as to their value.

LimeCulture are keen to adopt a similar approach to a Professional Network for ISVA Managers that will:

  • enable Managers of ISVA Services to share ideas, learning and information to build confidence and capability,
  • explore issues, emerging trends, and best practice to strengthen the response to sexual violence in the context of ISVA Services,
  • create a safe and confidential space to problem-solve with peers,
  • promote collaboration and co-production, driving new and innovative ways of working,
  • support Network Members to reduce professional isolation and better maintain their personal and professional well-being,
  • pool local knowledge and expertise to inform the national policy context.

We are very keen to ensure that this opportunity is available to all Managers of ISVA services across England and Wales – irrespective of service type or size, commissioning/funding arrangements and/or membership/umbrella organisation affiliations – and that Managers are involved in driving the agenda for their Professional Network going forward.

LimeCulture are currently consulting with Managers of ISVA services to ensure that we can establish a Professional Network that brings the best possible value and have already sent out a short consultation survey to the ISVA services who are known to LimeCulture. However, we want to ensure that all ISVA Services Managers have the chance to join the Professional Network and help shape it, so if you are the Manager of an ISVA Service, please email Holli.Waterson@limeculture.co.uk who will send you a copy of the consultation survey and provide you with further information about the Professional Network.

Thank you!

Wave 12 of the Male Quality Standards Accreditation is open for applications

LimeCulture is delighted to announce the Independent Accreditation Programme is now accepting applications for the 12th wave of services seeking accreditation against the Male Survivors Partnership (MSP) Quality Standards for Services Supporting Male Victims/Survivors of Sexual Violence.

The Wave 12 application window will close on Wednesday 4th October 2023

The Quality Standards were developed in collaboration with commissioners, service providers and male victims/survivors, who shared their personal experiences of support and what they want and need from the services they access. Since 2018, 50 services have successfully achieved the Quality Mark through completing the independent accreditation process.

The Independent Accreditation Programme allows organisations to benchmark the quality of their provision for male victims/survivors of sexual violence against nationally recognised Quality Standards, giving themselves, their clients and commissioners confidence in the services they deliver.

Imran Manzoor, Head of Service at Breaking the Silence said:

 In achieving the Quality Standards our service saw a thorough and wholesale improvement in the management and delivery of our service. We have received legitimacy from mainstream bodies and a surge in referrals since achieving the Quality Mark.

Our systems, procedures, and our practice, are now better serving the needs of service users, with greater transparency and a sense of ownership for the black and Asian male survivors who benefit from our programme. Our policies are significantly improved and better able to remain cognisant of legislation.

Working with LimeCulture was a joy, and although the endeavour was a challenge, they remained supportive throughout.”

Zoe Kukan, Accreditation Manager at LimeCulture said:

“It’s a real privilege to work alongside services as they seek to achieve their Quality Mark, and to explore the different approaches they adopt to meeting the Quality Standards in a
way that is most meaningful for them. I am constantly impressed by services’ motivation and dedication to providing the best possible support for their male clients; it is always lovely to
deliver the news that a service has been accredited, and to see their pride upon receiving this news”.


Gary Pleece, CEO of the Male Survivors Partnership, said:

“The vision for Male Survivors Partnership when it set out to develop the Quality Standards is the same now as it was then: so that commissioners and front-line service providers can deliver the best possible support to male victims/survivors.

We know that males face immense barriers to disclosing sexual violence and accessing support, not least due to embedded gender narratives and a lack of specialist services for male victims/survivors across England and Wales.

The Quality Standards are there for reassurance for male survivors that they will receive the best possible quality assured support and we are delighted to work in partnership with LimeCulture to deliver this. We are pleased that a new wave has now opened for the Standards and we urge front line service providers working with male victims/survivors to apply.”

To apply

E-mail us at accreditation@limeculture.co.uk by 4 October 2023  to express your interest in Wave 12 or to request a tailored quotation. Places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

LimeCulture commissions Manifestive to support our growth & development

LimeCulture in 2023 is not the same organisation that was launched back in 2011. We have grown significantly; the demand for our training and consultancy services has increased year-on-year, and we’ve expanded into new sectors.

Back in 2011, when LimeCulture was launched, there was not the focus on our area work that there is today. There was not the same level of scrutiny on organisations and their duty to safeguard or protect people from violence and abuse as there is now. Thankfully, things have begun to change, and more organisations and other sectors are beginning to recognise they too need to do more to safeguard, protect and respond more appropriately to victims and survivors.

For LimeCulture, this step change has meant that our client base is bigger and more diverse. Along with the specialist sexual violence support sector – who we’ve always worked alongside and continue to champion – we now also work extensively to support universities, schools and colleges, as well as sporting organisations, police forces and other organisations who realise they must to do more in this importance space.

In order to respond to the needs of a more diverse client base, we have expanded our work force; we’ve recruited new talent as well as developing and promoting our people so that LimeCulture can do more.

We’ve always known that LimeCulture’s success comes through our people and their passion, focus and dedication to supporting our clients’ needs. We have been lucky enough to build and grow a truly dedicated and talented team, who work incredibly hard to deliver our work to the highest possible standards. But we have also been aware that organisational growth can come at a cost, with people becoming tired and quality overlooked.

So, as we grow, we’ve been determined to make sure that our people continue to be at the heart of our organisation. As LimeCulture continues to evolve, we want to ensure that we all have a shared vision for LimeCulture and a common understanding of where we’re going as an organisation. We want to make sure that all our people are committed to our goals and indeed, that they are central to setting those goals for our organisation.

To help us do this, we have commissioned Manifestive, a management consultancy and strategy catalyst, to reinject passion and inspiration into our strategy and bring clarity to the role we’ll all play in our continued success – something that’s good for us and for our clients and our partners.

Stephanie Reardon, LimeCulture’s CEO said:

“It’s been absolutely brilliant to work closely with Manifestive, who’ve been astonishingly skilful in engaging our staff to think more creatively about LimeCulture’s future and what we want to achieve as an organisation.  Through a co-creation approach, Manifestive has inspired us to be confident and bold, breathing new life into our strategy, and ensuring that every member of the LimeCulture team has a shared vision for the future and a clear plan of how to achieve our ambitions”.

 

Marcus Iles, Manifestive’s CEO said:

“There are precious few opportunities to partner with an organisation with a mission like LimeCulture’s. It has been humbling to get to know the team, to experience their dedication and commitment first hand, and to help them galvanise their passion and purpose into a strategy that will continue to impact their client’s organisations – and our entire society.”
