Ask Me Community Consultation

Let us know your views!

We’d like to hear from you about your perceptions of the Ask Me scheme and how it would work in your community. This will help us understand which community members are best suited for this scheme and what would be helpful and unhelpful in terms of their response. The information that you provide will inform the training and tools that we develop so that we can help improve the communities’ response and help survivors to access information and help earlier. Your responses will be recorded anonymously.

For more information about the project, please follow the link to the Cambridge Women's Aid website. To sign up to the training, you can register here. If you have any questions, please get in touch with the project coordinators Emilia and Sophie at askme@cambridgewa.org.uk.
