BTAN is a dynamic, trauma-informed professional network designed to support individuals and organisations working at the forefront of trauma recovery, violence against women, safeguarding, and systemic change.
The Beyond Trauma Advisory Network (BTAN) is a survivor-led professional forum designed to equip those working in trauma, safeguarding, health, justice, and recovery with the resources, knowledge, and support they need to lead change.
What makes BTAN different is its direct link to lived experience. Through our Survivor Action Forum, real-life voices feed into the network — shaping reports, insights, and resources that reflect the realities survivors face today. This ensures that every tool, template, and piece of guidance within BTAN is not only professionally robust, but grounded in authenticity and survivor wisdom.
BTAN exists to support those delivering frontline services, raise awareness, influence national policy and practice, and embed survivor voices into every level of safeguarding and support.
