Beyond Compliance: Building Safer, Inclusive Educational Environments

We help schools, colleges, and universities go beyond compliance to create safer, more inclusive learning environments. Alongside supporting education providers to meet legislative and regulatory requirements, including Keeping Children Safe in Educations, the Worker Protection Act 2023 and the Office for Students’ E6 Condition on Harassment and Sexual Misconduct, we support education institutions to embed cultures that actively protect and support students and staff.

LimeCulture is the creator of the Sexual Violence Liaison Officer (SVLO) model, a pioneering, trauma-informed internal support service, now embedded in more than 90 universities across the UK. The SVLO model transforms institutional responses to disclosures of sexual violence and misconduct, improving student safety, and increasing confidence in reporting.

Our whole-school approach to tackling sexual abuse, including child on child abuse, brings our expertise across the education system into schools and colleges. By embedding the Sexual Misconduct Liaison Officer (SMLO) model, we ensure that children and young people affected by sexual misconduct can receive consistent, specialist support and improved safeguarding responses.

We reinforce this through the availability of high-quality teacher training on healthy relationships, consent, and related issues across Key Stages 1–5, through our age-appropriate Preventing Sexual Misconduct Education programmes for delivery with children and young people aged 5–18, helping institutions intervene early and effectively and improving the competence and confidence of teachers.

By combining practical guidance, sector-leading expertise, and trauma-informed practice, we enable education providers to build environments where safety, respect, and accountability are embedded, delivering meaningful, sustainable cultural change across education.

Consultancy customised to your needs

Our services are comprehensive and education-focused. We conduct organisational reviews and needs assessments to identify gaps and opportunities, provide strategic leadership planning to guide culture change, and deliver specialist training to build awareness, skills, and confidence among staff and students.

We also offer expert advice on reporting and response processes, ensuring institutions respond effectively and consistently to incidents of harassment, harm, or abuse.

Training courses

Our accredited Sexual Violence Liaison Officer Development Programme (SVLO DP), developed by LimeCulture in collaboration with the university sector, ensures it reflects the realities and challenges of higher education. It aims to equip key staff at universities and Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) with the knowledge and skills to appropriately meet the needs of students and staff affected by sexual violence or misconduct, whether recent or non-recent.

All our training in education is delivered through a blend of online, face-to-face, and eLearning formats. We offer a mix of core courses and customised in-house training, all designed to help participants develop new skills or refresh existing knowledge in practical, relevant, and impactful ways, enabling them to create safer and more inclusive learning environments.

Testimonials

Testimonial by Delegate on Sexual Violence Liaison Officer Development Programme
Testimonial by Neil Davies

“The LimeCulture trainers were EXCELLENT – their knowledge was outstanding and what I really liked, was the fact they were so encouraging when everyone spoke or contributed. Their genuine feedback and support made this course one of the best I have ever been on.”

Delegate on Sexual Violence Liaison Officer Development Programme, Non-profit Organisation

“We have worked with LimeCulture for the past 3 years. They delivered First Responder training to staff around the university which received great feedback from all the teams that attended. Staff said they felt far more confident in this space and much clearer about their respective roles when supporting students.

LimeCulture has also supported the Wellbeing Service directly with a service review and evaluation piece of work and latterly with the development of an SVLO model that was right for our context at Cardiff Met. The team at LimeCulture have been excellent and are very easy to work with. Their support with the development of an SVLO model has been invaluable, demonstrating their expertise in this area, ensuring our model is both fit for purpose and sustainable. I would recommend LimeCulture to any organisation looking to develop or enhance their support offering in this area.”

Neil Davies, Head of Student Wellbeing, Cardiff Metropolitan University
