OCVA organise a monthly Volunteer Co-ordinators Forum. If you have responsibility for managing or co-ordinating volunteers within Oxfordshire, then this forum is for you!
This informal group enables Volunteer Managers and Co-ordinators to come together to share experiences and skills, while offering some ongoing learning opportunities. It is open to any voluntary and community sector organisation in Oxfordshire.
The speaker will be Circles South East who empower local communities to support the provision of prevention programmes, as well as therapeutic engagement with those persons affected by sexual harm and sexual violence including survivors, families and perpetrators. Their work is underpinned by the principle that resilient, confident people with positive relationships are unlikely to perpetrate sexual harm, can help protect vulnerable others from sexual harm, or are in a better position to recover from its after-effects.
