Creative Optimistic Visions Information

We are a Community Interest Company passionate about Protective Behaviours. Protective Behaviours is a practical down to earth approach on feeling safe consisting of 2 Themes 'we all have the right to feel safe all the time’ and ‘we can talk with someone about anything even if it is awful or small'. Protective behaviours is a process that has been practiced since the 1970's. We have used the core principles to guide our everyday practice ensuring that our beneficiaries are equipped with a skillset to keep themselves feeling safe to encourage progression, prevent and or reduce victimisation and abuse. We want to educate, support and enable individuals to make informed decisions throughout life based on the principles that we all have the right to feel safe and we can talk with someone about anything even if it is awful or small. We provide alternative education, wellbeing services, one to one support, consultancy and accredited training with professionals as well as supporting our local community by providing universal youth provision. All staff are fully trained protective behaviours practitioners and undergo regular CPD and supervision to provide consistency and quality to our partners, clients, and beneficiaries. We aim to be well grounded and keep it real. What we do is practical. The difference we make is in real life. We speak out to be heard and inspire confidence, and like our name, we believe we can only change things if we’re imaginative and positive, working for brighter futures.
