Welcome to Tender. We have been involved in a number of exciting projects recently. Here are some of our successes...
Our Hollyoaks Survey got 390 responses! The Jake & Nancy domestic violence storyline generated much debate on the Hollyoaks forums - especially about the issue of whether the character of Jake was accountable for his abusive behaviour towards Nancy.
68% of people thought that Jake attempted to rape Nancy because he wanted to feel in control.
95% of people picked up on the emotional abuse before the attempted rape episode.
66% thought that an abusive person could change their behaviour.

TRUST REPORT
We have just finished a report on our Trust project. We collated young people's responses to the issue of domestic violence during the Autumn 2007 and Spring 2008 terms. The Trust Project Report compares pre-project and post-project responses from 13 schools and 1 Pupil Referral Unit to measure the development of young people's attitudes towards domestic abuse and sexual violence.
