Mondays can sometimes feel like they're moving a little slower... which reminds us of this classic! 😄

**What does an escalator say when it stops working?** 🤔

Don't suffer in silence, please reach out 🙏🙏🙏

As the World Cup begins, Trevi has a responsibility to speak clearly about the impact on women and girls.

In England and Wales, at least 2 million* are estimated to experience violence each year - an average of 5,480 women and girls harmed every day.

VAWG is a pattern of abuse, coercion, intimidation and harm that is already at levels considered a national emergency before a ball is kicked, but which increases – by up to 38%* - during major football matches.

But that is not about football, alcohol, a disappointing result, or any other external factor. It is about men who choose to use violence, control and fear against women and girls.



If you are worried about what may happen during or after a match, we urge you to seek support.

You do not have to leave your relationship to get help.

Safety planning can help you think through where to go, who to contact, what to prepare and how to leave safely if you need to.

⚠️ If you are in immediate danger, call 999.

📞 The National Domestic Abuse Helpline is free and open 24/7. Call 0808 2000 247.

🌐 Locally, support is available via IDASP https://www.idasp.org/domestic-abuse-support

🏠 Trevi’s Women’s Centre is a safe, women-only service in Plymouth where there’s no wrong door. Call 01752 255758 during daytime hours, or visit trevi.org.uk

🎉 A fantastic start for our RADAR programme! 🎉

This week, Southwest Training Solutions successfully delivered our first two RADAR (Recognition of Acute Deterioration and Response) courses, with learners joining us on both Monday and Tuesday.

Through hands-on practical activities and the NHS NEWS2 framework, participants developed the skills and confidence to recognise early signs of deterioration, make informed decisions, and ensure individuals receive the right care at the right time.

It was inspiring to see such enthusiasm, engagement, and teamwork across both groups. A huge congratulations to everyone who completed the training and thank you for making our first RADAR courses such a success!

👏 Well done to all involved. We can't wait to deliver the next one!
