What days of the week and times of the day did you have the course?

I am on the waiting list but hoping to get some idea so I can plan for it around work etc..

Thank you

You should have a virtual 1 to 1 session with a course leader/therapist who will give you an option for morning or afternoon. I had mine a few weeks after registering, then the course started about 6 weeks after that. Hope youre not waiting too long. I found it really beneficial. X

Thank you Poppet, yes I have that virtual assessment booked but I was wondering if the course was the same day each week or if it varied and the likely morning/afternoon timings.

Mine was on the same day at the same time every week, and was 5 weeks long. I chose a morning so I wasn't dwelling on it and waiting for it all day.

Hello love actually,

I did mine in Feb. In my 1:1 I mentioned that certain days wouldn't work for me because of my work so they gave me a day that suited me. It's the same day/ time every week. I hope you can get started on it soon- I found it very helpful. Xx

Mine is on a Thursday evening 6:15 - 8:30pm. It's been really helpful in understanding and getting my head around what's happened.

It's a course offered by the Lucy Faithful Foundation who run this forum. As far as I know, it provides information on the legal and practical implications of these offences, helps to understand why these offences take place and also raisea awareness of warning signs and risks. I want to attend because I want to educate myself so I canale decisions on whether I can continue to support by OH or not, but mostly, so I can ensure I am doing what I can do keep myself and my son safe.

Hello everyone,

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to answer Loveactually’s question and built on what the other users have said. For people in England, Northern Ireland and Wales, Inform groups are typically held in the evenings (6:15pm - 8:30pm), though some groups also start in the morning (10:30am - 12:45pm). Inform groups run on Monday to Thursday, with each group meeting for 5 weeks, always on the same day and time. If you’d like to learn more about the Inform programme, please click here. You can also contact our helpline who will help answer any questions you may have about the programme, and help you start your enrolment process when you feel ready.

I hope this information is helpful.

Kind regards,

The Forum Team

Mine was every Tuesday morning for 6 weeks! I'm pretty sure they asked what would be better suited to me morning or evening. Also just to mention there was one session I couldn't attend because I had a meeting with social services and they phoned me at a time that was suitable and ran through what I'd missed that session! They was super helpful
