End of the Road

A sad day is upon us: Voice Against Violence as we know it has come to an end. We have had a fantastic two (and a bit) years and would like to thank everyone who has made that possible. We have had some amazing successes during our time together and there are so many people that we couldn’t have done it without, so THANK YOU!!

Thanks!

We hope that our legacy will carry on in our debut film “One Voice at a Time”, and that you continue to use our survey and other resources in your work. There are behind the scenes meetings going on about potential future participation for children and domestic abuse but it’s all very vague just now, all I can say is watch this space!!! Over and out for now!

One voice at a time… get your copy now!

In November last year VAV launched our debut film “One Voice at a Time”. The response we got was great and it’s now been nominated for a Bafta! Haha! Its purpose is to help young people who are going through domestic abuse, to train adults on how to deal with domestic abuse better and to help other young people get involved in VAV-type work. We put a lot into creating this and all we have to do now is get it out there.

If you want a copy, we want to give you one! It’s 100% free! Please get in touch: info@voiceagainstviolence.org.uk. It doesn’t matter who you are, what you want to use the DVD for or how many you want. Help us get our DVD out there 😀

VAV – The Movie! …Coming to a school near you

We have been very busy focusing on our amazing new blockbuster hit, VAV’s Legacy Movie. We’ve came up with a fun solution to help carry on our work long after we’ve gone. Our legacy film is set to be an amazing resource for anyone wanting to know more about domestic abuse, how it affects children and participatory work. It will train adult professionals on how to deal with domestic abuse if a child approaches them and how to identify the signs. And if that’s not enough, it also tells young people where to get support and help, as well as educating youngsters on domestic abuse. You excited? You should be! Keep an eye out for upcoming posts about the launch of our movie and how to get yourself a copy of the DVD. Watch this space…

Warzone Domestic Abuse Campaign

Hey all! Lots of people have been asking us for this, so here’s the campaign ad that VAV helped develop.

The YouTube link is Domestic Abuse – Young People – 30 sec ad 🙂

National Campaign Launched!

Voice Against Violence has played an important role in developing the Government’s new Domestic Abuse Advertising Campaign! It is targeted specifically at young people and was launched today (1st February). There will be an ad shown online when young people log in to various websites like Facebook or Bebo. There will also be posters going out to schools across the whole of Scotland!

We came up with the slogan: Feel like you’re living in a war zone?

The message of the campaign is to encourage young people to speak to a trusted adult or contact Childline if they are going through domestic abuse or know someone who is.

Here is the poster that will be going out to schools. Tell us what you think!

If you can’t see it very well you can open the Campaign poster – full size (it might take  a while to load up).
