Schools and Colleges

Heather delivers a deeply personal and impactful story to schools and colleges across the UK, recommended to Year 10 students and beyond. Her raw and honest account details the terrifying experience of how easy it was for her own daughter to be groomed on social media by an older and violent man, and the preventative steps she had to take to both educate and protect her. This story serves as a crucial reminder for women that danger doesn’t always present itself in obvious forms. Sometimes it is disguised as charm, familiarity and manipulation.

 Her lived experience enables women to better understand UK laws in place to help protect against violence against women and girls, and how they can access it.
