Personal safety training schools and young people

Working with schools

When working with schools, we can put together a bespoke programme of training covering areas as diverse as:

• Personal safety
• Self-defence
• Conflict management
• Leadership skills
• Motivational training
• Reading confrontational body language
• Communication skills

We have also run a course for the post 15 years at the University of Sheffield, aimed at teenagers who are leaving school and going on to university.  We talk to them about the personal safety issues they may encounter when away from home for the first time as well as covering some basic training in conflict management.  You can read a testimonial about this work in the Clients section of our website.

If you are interested in booking a training programme for your school, please contact us to find out more about the packages we can offer.  You may be able to get government funding to cover some or all of the training costs – please check this with your local authority.

Teenagers and young adults

Brooks Jordan also provides personal safety training to young people through local organisations such as youth clubs.

People are always surprised to hear that young males aged between 15 and 26 are statistically the most likely to be attacked or assaulted.  For this reason, we highly recommend that parents of teenagers consider enrolling their children on a conflict management and breakaway skills training course.

We are also planning to run some personal safety and conflict resolution training in 2012 for young offenders.  This will be free of charge.  We will aim to teach them how to manage conflict or aggression without resorting to violence, helping them to stay out of trouble in future.

Please contact us if you would like to know more about our work with teenagers and young adults, or to book a course for your organisation.
