Streetwise365

What do we do?

Streetwise365 designs personal safety programmes and resources for schools/colleges, the youth sector, and parents.

All programmes are underpinned by a philosophy of de-escalation.
Students are empowered to recognise potentially dangerous situations before they occur, defuse conflict and encounters when needed, and  given the tools to defend themselves allowing them to manoeuvre to safety.

Why Streetwise365?

Our personal safety training gives students agency and confidence to make danger-avoiding decisions, often before trouble even occurs.

Our framework is built around three steps: Detection, Defusing, and Defence. In this way, we give the students the skills and strategies to stay safe.

Fear of crime is one of the greatest causes of unhappiness among young people, and having the awareness, competence and confidence to deal with a wide range of situations.

Our overall aim is to give students the skills and strategies to move to safety.

 

Why do we need Streetwise365?

  • Fear of crime is the most common cause of unhappiness among young people in the UK, affecting 2.2 million children.
  • 1 million children are victims of crime every year. The Good Childhood Report 2017 written by York University, shows that 1 in 4 boys fear being assaulted or mugged, and 1 in 3 girls fear being followed by a stranger.
  • With our personal safety education, students have the tools to avoid crime and conflict, de-escalate situations, and defend themselves in an appropriate manner from becoming victims of crime.
