Early avoidance is ALWAYS safer than a physical response....
This is why we teach our children The Green Cross Code, rather than simply expecting them to cross the road blindly, and leap out of the way of oncoming traffic!

There is very little (if any) education taught in schools to help young people develop essential skills to help them recognise and respond to potential threats of violence and abuse within our society.
Do we simply expect them to be street smart?

A Step Ahead...
This interactive, thought-provoking and potentially life-changing workshop focusses on developing strong situational awareness skills, building safe habits and emphasising avoidance at the earliest opportunity as the foundation of a concise, yet effective personal safety strategy.
We equip young people with a selection of valuable tools and tactics to help maximise their safety.
These combine to form a 'safe lifestyle blueprint' for their overall personal development into adulthood, as confident and upstanding members of society.

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

Some Kind Testimonials
It was truly fantastic; I find it difficult to express just how engaging and grounded the experience was! Your workshop highlighted numerous primal aspects of human systems that many often overlook in their daily lives. It was wonderful to witness participants gain a deeper understanding of their instinctual behaviours and the benefits that come with them.
- Nick Wilson (Always Another Way)
During the workshop, students learned valuable and practical safety strategies essential for their transition to adulthood. They enjoyed the interactive blend of theory and practice, and we can't wait to offer this opportunity to more students soon.
- Kerryann Wilson (Head of Energy Coast UTC)
These sessions have significantly enhanced our young people's awareness and confidence in navigating safety and life skills, thanks to their engaging and well-structured approach. We wholeheartedly support this invaluable initiative, which I think is essential for the development of all young people.
