Bright Choices training opportunity

Dear All,

Bright Choices training Wednesday 28^th September 10-12 at Pilton Community Health Project

Honour abuse or Honour-Based Violence (HBV) is any kind of abusive or violent behaviour against an individual by a member of their family or their community, when the individual is perceived to have ‘transgressed’ the family’s and/or the community’s acceptable codes of behaviour. This training from Bright Choices aims to increase the capacity of professionals in responding to cases and issues of honour based violence within their particular field. Participants will explore the issues of recognising the risks of HBV and how to effectively respond to these. Please see attached leaflets for more information. If you would like to attend the free training please contact Hannah on 0131 5511671 or by emailing hannahkitchen@pchp.org.uk

Hate Crime Survey

As part of a project with the other RECs in Scotland ELREC are launching a survey addressed to people who have been victims of hate crime about the kind of support they have received and what additional support they could have benefitted from. This is the link to the survey https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/whymesurvey
