My name is Meena Kumari and I am the founder and director of H.O.P.E Training &amp; Consultancy. We offer Training, Consultancy, Activism &amp; Advocacy. I developed H.O.P.E in 2008 after I felt I wanted to share my skills and knowledge around Domestic Abuse, Sexual Violence and Safeguarding with professionals that were working with these issues. I started my journey delivering training around Forced Marriages, Honour Abuse &amp; Female Genital Mutilation training but then expanded out to other subject matters that i have dealt with as a front line professional. I have always been passionate and committed to raising awareness around these issues and hope to continue this way into the future! Our Training is trauma informed and as an organisation we deliver on equity and believe training should allow learners to have enriching conversations in a safe space.\u00a0 Hopefully we can work together soon. I work with a number of brilliant associates who are all experienced within safeguarding, domestic abuse &amp; sexual violence. In the meantime please have a look around my website and get in touch if you require any of the services.
