Jewish Women’s Aid (JWA) has launched a new CPD-accredited training programme for senior youth movement leaders and professional staff, equipping them with the tools to foster a culture of consent, healthy relationships, and safeguarding ahead of summer camps this summer.
This half-day programme takes a preventative approach, supporting senior leaders in youth movements to reflect on their culture, policies, and practices. It helps them identify how to prevent harmful behaviours on camp and promote healthy relationships and consent, building on what is already working and exploring areas for development.
Programme Co-Author and JWA’s Director of Outreach and Prevention, said: “While we’ve been delivering pre-camp training for madrichim for many years, this reflective approach gives senior leaders the time and tools to look closely at their movement’s culture and make meaningful change. Already, some movements have told us they’ve made practical changes as a result. This training empowers senior leaders to take action and embed a culture of consent across their programmes, while giving youth leaders the tools to support young people.”
