We’ve had the pleasure of working with Bryony since 2019, during which time she has been the lead trainer and creator of our timeto sexual harassment training programme. Bryony brings deep expertise, thoughtfulness, and clarity to her work. Her ability to create a safe and engaging learning environment has had a lasting impact on our delivery team and the wider industry. She’s not only a trusted expert but a pivotal partner in our mission to drive meaningful change.

Katrina Urban, NABS

I have almost twenty years of facilitation and learning design experience. I have trained nightlife workers, lawyers, sports teams, academics, healthcare staff, DJs, activists, students, children and young people, professionals and community groups. My specialism is education and change around gendered violence and harm in our workplaces, homes, communities. My work is built on ethics rooted in dignity, compassion and justice.

This can include:
  • Design, development and delivery of training for organisations, collectives and groups
  • Audit existing delivery and provide recommendations and support for improvement
  • Build scalable Train The Trainer programmes
  • Evaluation, measurement and outcome reporting
