The Know Your Worth Schools Programme began in 2018. The programme focus on creating the message that everyone has worth, and no one deserves to be mistreated or abused.
The programme involves an interactive, victim centred approach to understanding domestic abuse in dating relationships. Through the programme we hope to discuss young people’s rights in dating but also their responsibilities – that every person has a responsibility not to perpetrate abuse and the changing of behaviour should start with abusers, not victims.
Key elements of our programme include:
Building students’ knowledge of their own attitudes and beliefs towards domestic abuse.
Types of dating abuse
Warning signs of domestic abuse
Rights & responsibilities in dating relationships
Consent
Where do we get our information on dating relationships
Supporting a friend experiencing domestic abuse

Organisations/Businesses
Any organisations working within the community can encounter domestic abuse or sexual violence, whether you are in a public sector, community or voluntary organisation. Often when someone is seeking support from various services, they can have issues that intersect with domestic abuse or sexual violence.
By an organisation increasing their knowledge/awareness they are better placed to recognise signs, offer support and provide referrals as required.
We are available to offer support and advice to an organisation that needs it. When suitable, we can also offer training to organisations to increase the knowledge of employees and volunteers.
If you have an enquiry or want further information, please contact us on 027 53847 or email admin@westcorkwomensproject.ie
