De-escalation Training – in a trauma informed context

Tuesday 17 November 2026

RVA will be hosting free de-escalation training for those working for or volunteering in charities or community groups in Reading.

Provisional date: 17 November, 10am – 1pm, at RISC

The aim: to help you adequately respond to situations that may arise in your charity when delivering your services, whether one-to-one or group services, in a way that will de-escalate the situation but to also bear in mind that we work with vulnerable individuals and to therefore learn some skills to take a trauma informed approach to handling those difficult situations.

The session will delivered by an expert in this area.

We are just awaiting funding to deliver this to you for free.

For now, please save the date and email training@rva.org.uk if you are interested in attending with:

  • your name and role in the charity
  • charity or community group name

We will let you know once the event is live for booking.
