Would your organisation like to become a J9 Safe Space for survivors of domestic abuse?

Any business, organisation or community venue can become a J9 safe space. This is where people experiencing domestic abuse can safely and discreetly get information and use a phone to contact a support service.

Equation are offering J9 training that equips you and your business, to spot signs that someone might be experiencing domestic abuse and feel confident in knowing how to respond and signpost them to get help – discreetly, and safely.

Individual Ambassador training

Anyone in Nottinghamshire can participate in our J9 ambassador training. Once completed, you’ll receive a J9 badge and training resources, empowering you to support those experiencing domestic abuse by providing guidance, signposting to services, and offering access to a telephone.

To become a J9 Safe Space

Any organisation or business can become a J9 safe space and receive J9 branded signs, posters, and resources. For an organisation to achieve Safe Space status we ask that

• More than 50% of your staff attend the J9 training
• At least 1 senior member of staff must attend the J9 training
• Your CEO or business owner agrees to become a J9 safe space

J9 training is most effective when all or most of your staff attend. Once completed, your business will receive resources and the J9 logo to display, letting those in need know that yours is a safe space.

If you’d like your organisation to become a safe space but you’re concerned you can’t meet the criteria, email us at training@equation.org.uk and we’d be happy to discuss.
