...focusses on developing strong situational awareness and emphasising avoidance at the earliest opportunity as the foundation of an concise, yet very effective personal safety strategy.
We equip young people with a selection of habitual tools and tactics to help maximise their safety.

We acknowledge that every group is different, so our workshops are designed in a convenient modular fashion, so that they and may be tailored to suit individual group requirements.
We can provide a range of learning from a short but valuable overview, to a more immersive multi-session experience. We can present to large audiences, or explore in-depth and interact more personally with smaller groups.
