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.

Testimonials

 

We book him every year for the final talk with our Y13s before they leave school. Andy teaches them how to be aware of dangers and keep themselves safe. All in one hour! It is a fast paced and entertaining session, both  memorable and instructional.  It is interactive, and confrontational in a good way and our students always respond very positively. In fact we always ask them to rate how 'useful' they find our 'talks' and I am delighted to say out of all the talks we put on for them during their last academic year they have voted this one the most useful. I can give no higher praise.
I can most whole-heartedly recommend Andrew Privett and Streetwise365

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.
