Personal Safety

The risk of being a victim of crime is statistically low. However, we all know of someone who has been affected by crime, whether personally, through friends or relatives or even via the media. There are therefore ways in which you can reduce your fear of crime and the possibility of you becoming a victim of crime.

 

Our NEW EduCare EduSafe programme has been accredited with the Association of Chief Police Officers 'Secured by Design' seal of approval. This prestigious seal is awarded to products or services that reduce crime or the fear of crime. Our programme will help you to identify who is at most risk and situations where your personal safety could be compromised. It will show you how to reduce the risks by using risk assessment and a number of proven positive action techniques. The skills and techniques are appropriate for both work and leisure safety.

 

The programme is delivered in five short modules with questionnaires to help test understanding. On successful completion participants are awarded a personalised EduSafe Secured by Design certificate.
