Right Turn Right Time

Right Turn, Right Time is a virtual reality experience designed to help perpetrators of domestic abuse understand the consequences of their actions. By placing participants in the perspective of a victim, a witness and a child, the film creates a powerful sense of empathy and highlights the emotional harm abuse causes within families. Used alongside existing educational and behaviour-change programmes, the experience provides a deeper level of understanding than traditional training alone.
