CRime Awareness Education

Crime awareness education goes hand in hand with football. Football provides positive diversionary activity for young people, while education enables young people to make better choices and contribute to their communities in a positive way. We work in partnership with the charity Crimestoppers locally, delivering the young person’s version for reporting crime anonymously: https://www.fearless.org/

What is youth social action?
Youth social action refers to activities that young people do to make a positive difference to others or the environment.
- Be youth-led & challenge behaviour
- Have social impact
- Allow progression to other opportunities
- Be embedded in a young person’s life
- Enable reflection about the value of the activity

Primary schools:
Our staff can deliver crime awareness assemblies and workshops in primary schools covering a range of topics including:
1) Identifying and reporting crime anonymously
2) Anti-social behaviour
3) Knife crime

Secondary schools:
Young leaders are trained in the role of ‘crime ambassadors’ to raise awareness around crime and act as role models to educate younger pupils. Anti-crime messages and education are powerful coming from local young people giving up their time who care about their neighbourhoods and want to make a difference. The idea is to empower young people to identify and discuss the areas of crime that affect their community and explore how they can raise awareness around them through social action. Using youth voice as a tool to help improve the safety of local communities.
