Established in 2011, LimeCulture quickly evolved into the UK’s leading sexual violence training and development organisation. Through our breadth of professional knowledge and experience of working across the sexual violence sector, we are able to support our customers to deliver excellent services to victims of rape and sexual assault. Much of our work is focused on training and developing ‘the specialists’, (such as Crisis Workers, counsellors, Independent Sexual Violence Advisers, Young People’s Advocates, Forensic Practitioners, Police Officers), and those who have a professional role to respond when a man, woman or child has been raped or sexually assaulted. However, our unique insight into the full range of organisations with a responsibility for victim care also allows us to have an oversight of the individual role of each and how they should work in partnership with other agencies to respond appropriately to a victim of sexual violence. We are keen to support policy makers to better understand what victims need following a sexual assault and what the professionals need to help them do their jobs effectively. Therefore, LimeCulture frequently work with a range of government departments to support new initiatives around sexual violence and to help them shape policies in this important area. We have also worked with a range of statutory agencies responsible for commissioning, funding and monitoring services, such as the NHS, Police and Crime Commissioners and Local Authorities to assist them with their roles. We also work with sports regulatory bodies and individual sporting clubs to support them to execute their responsibilities relating to their duty to ensure the safeguarding and wellbeing of all children, young people and vulnerable adults within their care. This could be in the capacity of employee, volunteer, visitor or service user. We work internationally, and have showcased our work to professionals in this field from across the globe.
