Accredited Torbay Council and local school team up to mark White Ribbon Day

Torbay Council are a White Ribbon Accredited local authority. They have developed an information and guidance service for those suffering abuse called “Are You OK?”. As part of the work they have done around White Ribbon Day and the 16 Days of Action, they worked with local school St Cuthbert Mayne, to raise awareness in a brilliant and unique way.

St Cuthbert Mayne School in Torquay, particularly the 6th form, have been actively supporting White Ribbon UK this year in a number of ways (click here for more information), including getting together to highlight Torbay Council’s abuse and advice service, “Are You OK?”. The school stood in letters marked out on their sports field and the photos have been featured in the local papers. This has highlighted the service offered by the council which is likely to save lives in the local community.
