Our courses are trauma-informed and use (where appropriate) nationally accredited materials. Yellow Door has accreditation with the CPD certification service.
We also have a local focus with direct and extensive experience of local issues, experiences, services/agencies and procedures such as safeguarding.
All our courses are quality-assured and evaluated – with exceptionally high satisfaction rates from participants and clearly identified outcomes.

Sessions can explore topics including:

Sessions can be tailored to the needs of your setting and the young people you work with.
“STAR has enabled schools and youth initiatives to develop their in-house policies and procedures to address rape and sexual violence more effectively: thus STAR’s impact cascades well beyond the boundaries of the project itself”
Training for colleges and universities
We also work with further and higher education settings to help students develop their understanding of consent, healthy relationships and sexual and domestic abuse.

These workshops are bespoke to the needs identified by faculty or university leads.
Our support and joint work with universities recognises the crucial role they play in proactively ensuring the safeguarding and welfare of students in respect of sexual or domestic abuse, alongside the heightened risks of sexual or domestic abuse in this student age-group and the significant impact on those who experience it.
We offer our specialist expertise in this field to develop and deliver support to universities with excellent feedback from local students and faculty staff we have worked with to date.
