Volunteer Training at the Rape Crisis Centre in Glasgow

The Rape Crisis Centre in Glasgow will shortly be running a volunteer training programme: this is due to begin on Sunday 3rd February 2013, with an introductory weekend on 19th and 20th January 2013. There are a limited number of training places available and the closing date for application forms to be submitted is Friday 11th January 2013.

For this year’s training programme the centre is targeting women who can speak languages other than English, however there are also places for trainees who do not have additional languages and this should not be seen as a barrier to applying. Rape Crisis, Glasgow welcomes applications from all women and is keen to see the diversity of service users reflected in the staff and volunteers who work with the centre.

If you have any questions about the training or the application process, please contact Isabelle Kerr.

You can see more information about volunteer training here, a training timetable here and can download an application form here.

Engender and Rape Crisis Scotland invite you to a seminar exploring the concept of rape-prone societies. A free event that links 16 Days’ activities and Engender’s “Feminists Talk Scotland’s Futures” series, this discussion will help us explore the links between rape and women's inequality.

Professor Miranda Horvath, David Jenkins Chair in Forensic and Legal Medicine at Middlesex London University, will make a presentation on the subject, followed by discussion.

Friday 7th December 2012

1.30 – 3.30pm
