Women’s Personal Safety Training Day
saturday 1 march 2025
Women’s Personal Safety Training Day (10am – 3pm)
Join us and learn safety strategies and new skills that will help you to feel safer and more able to deal with threatening and intimidating or violent situations.
This course was written by women, to be delivered to women by women.
The course is unique in that it deals with both the psychological and physical elements of personal safety. It was initiated in the late 1970’s by women who questioned that their safety was a priority as many still do today.
This day is part of a 20-hour course, which with enough interest will continue throughout the year.
