Protecting young people starts with
equipping the adults around them.
A 2-hour workshop for teachers, university staff, school administrators, residential life teams, and parents.
A note about who this is for.
The SVPW is not designed for pupils or students themselves. Children and adolescents need formats specifically adapted to their age and developmental stage, and other programmes exist for that purpose.
What the SVPW does is equip the adults around them: the teachers who may be the first to notice a change in behaviour, the administrators who shape institutional culture, the parents who want to have difficult conversations at home, the residential life staff who supervise dorms and campus events, and the support services who handle disclosures.
When the adults are aligned, the protection of young people becomes structural, not accidental.
Adults at every level.
Teachers, staff, parents — the workshop adapts to any educational role.
15 languages available.
Useful for international schools and multilingual communities.
Evidence-based content.
Built on WHO and UNICEF recommendations, not on advocacy positions.
What it offers your institution.
A common foundation across your team
Teachers, counsellors, administrative staff, after-school supervisors — all touch on the same topic from different angles. The workshop creates a shared vocabulary and a shared set of reflexes across roles.
A useful framework for parent groups
Parents associations, residential committee meetings, parent-teacher conferences — these often want to address prevention but lack a structured format. The SVPW provides one, ready to use.
A complement to existing curricula
The workshop does not replace age-appropriate education for pupils. It strengthens the adult layer that supports that education and catches what slips through.
A reproducible model
Train one of your staff to run the workshop annually, with new groups of staff, parents, or community volunteers. The cost of subsequent sessions drops to almost zero.
Practical use cases.
Staff training day
A 2-hour module within a teacher in-service day. Mixed groups (subject teachers, life skills coordinators, school counsellors) work through the cards together.
Faculty and administration in higher education
University faculty, residential life staff, student affairs offices, Title IX coordinators (in US contexts), or their equivalents elsewhere.
Parent groups
Run at the start of the school year or after a school-wide incident. Helps parents anchor the conversation at home with consistent framing.
Volunteer supervisors
Sports coaches, music teachers, after-school programme leaders — the people who often have the most informal contact with young people and the least training on the topic.
