Trainer Lucy Heaven Taylor on the safe space she aims to create in our Decolonising Safeguarding course, which will run from 17 September. Read the full interview: www.intrac.org/interview-tr...
“Together we hope to create a safe space so that participants can feel open to sharing their experiences, but also any questions or concerns they might have about taking a decolonised approach. We are always humbled by how much the participants are willing to be reflective, and to push against the challenges in their work and the sector.”

Our Decolonising Safeguarding course is a course with a difference - designed to help you unpack and challenge the unequal power structures that perpetuate safeguarding harms. Find out more and apply: www.intrac.org/courses/deco...
A quote: "The course provided a safe and supportive space for vulnerability and open dialogue. I appreciate the opportunity to learn from my peers and the valuable insights shared by the mentors. I am now equipped with actionable strategies and tools that I can implement in my own work, ensuring that my safeguarding practices are inclusive and culturally sensitive. Thank you for creating such an empowering learning experience!" - Ashleigh Makore, Zimbabwe

A quote from Paul Knipe who says: "We call for appropriate investment and support from funders who themselves see the value in locally rooted and globally connected civil society support ecosystems as a catalyst for change and resilience. Collectively, we can catalyse appropriate change."

Sign up today to join Sareta Thomas in our special discussion on 14 May: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/building-e...
A quote from Sareta Thomas: "Civil society organizations can navigate and survive these shifts if they begin to take ownership of the change. This means critically examining their internal systems, exploring alternative financing models, thinking long-term and strategically, and identifying partners that align with their mission and values. Financial sustainability is within reach—but it requires bold, proactive steps today."
