- Service Description
-
‘Safer strangers’ is a mini police workshop designed to educate students about the difference between regular strangers and safer strangers. By understanding this concept, children can better protect themselves.
Whilst child abduction is relatively uncommon, it’s important that children can recognise the potential signs of danger.
This session aims to give children practical safety skills which they can use as they become more independent. It will educate children about the types of strangers they can approach safely in difficult situations. By understanding cues and context, children learn to recognize individuals who can offer help.
During the workshops, students will undertake tasks in small groups as well as engage in whole group discussion. Sessions will be delivered by experienced trainers from Lincolnshire Police youth engagement coordinators team in an age appropriate, fair and inclusive manner.
