The DAY Programme

The DAY Programme is a unique multimedia domestic abuse education programme for young people. DAY is a non-profit making organisation.

[The DAY Programme @dayprogramme]

Practitioners, teachers, pastoral leads and support staff all need better skills to talk to young people about pornography, VAWG, sexual violence and domestic abuse. We must not shy away from difficult conversations. We can help! Find out more here ⬇️

Good to read @jessphillips being realistic about responding to misogyny in schools. Our practitioners tell us that getting schools to take VAWG seriously is really challenging. There is a lot to do, so let’s get on with it.

We hope it goes brilliantly, Jo!

Getting ready to facilitate @dayprogramme training - 5 had days of online training with practitioners who are keen to deliver the best resources with young people. Excellent start to a week 🙌

We’re writing our response to the Govt call for evidence on p0rnography regulation, legislation and enforcement today!

Don’t forget to contribute if you work with children and young people.

Deadline 7th March.

Reflecting on a great day one of #DACFestival; challenging to navigate different audiences, the pace is speedy, timings work brilliantly, buildings never have enough women’s loos and great to be in ‘real life’ spaces. Feeling accomplished and looking forward to day two!

Some very powerful + relevant points about how children can get lost as victims in their own right #DomesticAbuse

Children are not second hand victims + shouldn't be perceived that way @David_Challen

Full twitter thread later summing up this excellent panel later today

[The DAY Programme @dayprogramme]

Great comment from Althea Cribb about #RSE and understanding young people’s relationships and how that helps to be part of the response to #DomesticAbuse. We can help with this - find us @ #DACFestival or 👇

Argh forgot the photo! #DACFestival

[The DAY Programme @dayprogramme]

Looking forward to the final session - Q&A: What does a ‘victim in their own right’ actually mean? #DACFestival

[The DAY Programme @dayprogramme]

We show #Timekeeper as part of our practitioner training and it always provokes lots of discussion about seen and unseen harms, professional curiosity and giving children space to tell their story #DACFestival

[The DAY Programme @dayprogramme]

This is an excellent presentation 👍

[Jo @JoCostello20]

Looking forward to hearing from Julie Smith, VAWG lead @NorthumbriaPCC #DACFestival

@domesticabuseLS Can we just say how much we love the enthusiasm our Irish services have?! You’re all amazing ✊✊✊

[The DAY Programme @dayprogramme]

Delighted to be at #DACFestival today and tomorrow! Come and say Hi if you want to talk about equipping practitioners to support young people around domestic abuse and sexual exploitation ✊

Sadly, our experience is that this education is needed way before Y11 & should be delivered by specialist groups rather than loading this onto teacher responsibilities

[Steph Spyro @StephSpyro]

Tory MP @CarolineNokes tells how a bullying ex-boyfriend turned her “into a shadow of my former self” after dictating how much she should weigh.

She joins @RefugeCharity & @MakeMandatory in urging Gvt to make lessons on domestic abuse and coercive control mandatory after year 11

[The DAY Programme @dayprogramme]

This is why our programme focuses on the *specific* issues in relation to young people and domestic abuse; equipping those working with CYP to understand the subtleties of the experiences of young people.

[Manchester Women's Aid @MancWomensAid]

Mum of murdered Ellie, 17, warns of subtle domestic abuse signs in teen relationships. One of them - educational sabotage - is when an abuser stops or hinders their partner’s studies, instead demanding all their time.

I'm seeing more and more lately about the value of youth work and it honestly fills me with hope. For too long the sector and profession hasn't been recognised or resourced properly. It's amazing to see youth work organisations being part of the conversation.

[The DAY Programme @dayprogramme]

I love reviewing feedback from training that I’ve facilitated. Practitioners are transformed by attending DAY 💥
100% said they’d recommend it to others!
“…there’s so much to be taken from this training! We need more practitioners to be delivering it.”
