Survivor and insight network

At Alpha Vesta we continue to aspire to be relevant and innovative.  It is through our Survivor and Insight Network that we are able to work closely with survivors, businesses, organisations, employers, professionals, workforces and communities.   Working and learning from people who have experienced or been impacted by domestic abuse to feed into future training and awareness campaigns. 

The Alpha Vesta Survivor and Insight Network offers the opportunity to share any lived experience and expertise in a variety of different ways.  Our focus is to provide a safe space for those impacted by Domestic Abuse to feel heard and the value of these shared experiences to go on to influence and help others.  They may have experienced domestic abuse directly themselves or been a work colleague, employer, member of the community, family member or friend.

Our Survivor’s Symposium forms the umbrella group of our network that sits across our Community Advocate & Employer Insight Group and our Survivors Empowerment Group.  The Symposium is made up of Alpha Vesta Ambassadors, Survivors of Domestic Abuse, Employers, Professionals in HR and Community Leaders. Collectively, the Symposium aims to identify relevant and clear areas of focus in order to gather insight and experience from our groups.  

It is the power of ground level insight that provides the opportunity to shape future best practice, better understanding of the complexities and with early intervention, the opportunity to save lives.
