LGBT+ SPECIALIST
ANTI-ABUSE TRAINING

LGBT+ survivors of abuse and violence are at the
heart of our education program. 

GALOP IS THE UK’S LGBT+ ANTI-ABUSE CHARITY.

We work with and for LGBT+ victims and survivors of interpersonal abuse and violence.

We offer professional training, consultancy and support for the commercial, statutory and not-for-profit sectors

Galop works directly with tens of thousands of LGBT+  people who have experienced abuse and violence every year. We specialise in supporting  victims and survivors of domestic abuse, sexual  violence, hate crime, and other forms of abuse including honour-based abuse, forced marriage, and so-called conversion therapies. We are a service run by LGBT+ people, for LGBT+ people, and the needs of our community are at the centre of what we do.


We run three national support helplines: one for LGBT+ victims and survivors of domestic abuse, one for LGBT+ people who have experienced hate crime, and the other for victims and survivors of so-called conversion therapies and practices. We provide advocacy services, both in London and nationally, for LGBT+ victims who need longer-term support. We are person-centred, empowerment-based, and trauma-informed – meaning our focus is always on helping our clients decide what is best for them and then supporting them through their journey.

WHY CHOOSE GALOP?

We offer professional training, consultancy and support for the commercial, statutory and not-for-profit sectors. Learning with Galop means more than just checking a box. We bring unmatched expertise in LGBT+ anti-violence, informed by over 40 years of frontline experience and leading national research. 

With insights drawn from thousands of LGBT+ individuals affected by abuse annually, we hold the largest evidence base of abuse perpetrated against LGBT+ people in Europe. 

Our courses aim to improve LGBT+ well-being, allyship, safety, and foster trust with the LGBT+ community.
  • Expert 
  • Trauma Informed
  • Evidence Based

A survivor could be anyone: a colleague; a loved
 one; a customer; a client, or even a student. By joining our training program, you’ll be expanding your lens of abuse and gaining invaluable skills which will allow you to empower the LGBT+ people who need it most.

"I really appreciated the time put into the training and it will certainly help me moving forward to support the LGBT+ community further."

Our LGBT+ Specialist Anti-Abuse Courses

HELP BUILD A FUTURE WHERE NO LGBT+ SURVIVOR IS LEFT BEHIND

 We want to help you build your knowledge of LGBT+ people which will help expand your lens of abuse and violence.  

REDUCING BARRIERS STARTS WITH YOU

LGBT+ people who experience abuse face many barriers to accessing support, including not knowing whether their identity, relationships, or experiences will be understood and accepted, or whether the services they access will discriminate against them because they’re LGBT+. 

It is our mission to build a future where no LGBT+ survivor is left behind or without somewhere safe to turn.

Our Values

What we have learned from survivors through our specialist advocacy services and national research,
 is that every professional has a role to play in the journey to a safer future for LGBT+ survivors.

CREATE CHANGE AND
 IMPROVE SYSTEMS

Our training is trauma-informed, empowerment-based, and reflects the experiences of thousands of unique LGBT+ survivors. 

The needs of our community 
come first. We want to help you 
to create change and improve 
outcomes for LGBT+ people 
across the UK. 

EMPOWER LGBT+ PEOPLE
AND SURVIVORS

All of our training aims to teach you how to empower LGBT+ survivors to have further choice and control in their lives. 

Our trainers build a safe space 
so that you can “get it wrong” 
with us rather than with an 
LGBT+ person who’s facing 
additional vulnerability.

BUILD SAFE AND
INCLUSIVE SPACES

We know that most organisations want to provide safe and inclusive spaces for LGBT+ survivors. 

Our training will help develop 
the skill and confidence 
necessary to truly be a safe and 
affirmative space for LGBT+ 
survivors.

Charity Sector Attendee

"The training session was really informative. Delivering this kind of training session by and LGBT+ service definitely makes the learning more valuable as we are learning from direct lived experience."

LGBT+ Attendee

"It felt so nice to be in an obviously inclusive space. I rarely have that experience at work and to be honest wasn't even really conscious that I don't until we're started talking and I suddenly realised all the things I could say in your space that I might not feel comfortable saying in any other work environment."

Corporate Attendee

"You were excellent at creating a safe space, raising awareness, busting some myths, giving people some questions to grapple with and sharing your own insights.  You also kept bringing it back to the employers’ perspective, giving them some practical takeaways, which is exactly what we needed."
