We have a few spaces available on this fantastic training which we are offering for FREE 💫

The OCN Level 3 qualification ‘We Stand Together’ is being delivered by Victim Support NI next month. This is relevant to everyone in the community, whether as a potential victim or witness to hate crime.

You will learn of people from different backgrounds, their struggles and triumphs. You will learn practical skills like how to report and seek support. You will learn about the underlying issues in society that lead to division, as well as how to become an effective witness and self-advocate for yourself and your communities.

The feedback from this training has been incredibly positive so please do not miss this opportunity to receive this FREE course. Thanks to the Housing Executive Community Cohesion for funding this course.

Registration is essential.
