The training will cover key messages, interacting with police and security, common offences used at protest and what to do if you are stop-and-searched or arrested.

It will be 2 hours long, with breaks. Content note: although we won’t be mentioning anything in a graphic way, this training will involve mention of policing, state violence, racism, ableism, transphobia and transmisogyny, stop & search. Please let us know if you have any additional accessibility needs. We will get in touch to discuss how we can best support you.
