Be Streetwise

The Bad Guy doesn't always look like this. We need to educate our children to detect risks and dangers in their environments #personasafety #safeguarding

Our children need to be taught to be their own super-heroes of personal safety #safeguarding #personalsafety

A great day was spent at King Edwards Grammar school in Stratford. Such a progressive school, looking after the safety of their students #safeguarding #personalsafety

We work on self-defence in many areas of our lives... we clean our teeth, we watch our diets and we insure our houses. But many neglect the most important skills with respect to self-defense... the physical skills that will move us to safety #safeguarding #personalsafety

Today I have the pleasure of training safeguarding leads at Pates grammar school in Cheltenham. A proactive School looking after the well-being of both their staff and students #safeguarding #personalsafety

As brilliant as the police are, it's unlikely that they will be there when your child's personal safety has been compromised. They need the skills to detect Danger, defuse situations and physically move to safety if required #personalsafety #Safeguarding

1 of the best ways to keep your child safe is to have open lines of communication #personalsafety #safeguarding

At Streetwise we understand that you 'should' be able to walk in isolated places and be safe. However, you increase your chances of being attacked if you do this #safeguarding #personalsafety

Together, through education & awareness we can beat the bad guy. As educationalists, we have a 'duty of care' to make sure our children have these skills #safeguarding #personalsafety

If a child's personal safety is compromised they will be scared. We need to teach them to harness these fears to drive actions that will move them to safety #personalsafety #Safeguarding

'The ability to protect yourself is the greatest life skill that you will ever develop'...Coach Tony Blauer #personalsafety #safeguarding

If your child was surrounded by an aggressive group, would they know what to do to move to safety? #safeguarding #personalsafety

Denial is one of the biggest barriers to personal safety. Sadly, bad things happen to good people #personalsafety #safeguarding

As parents we want to protect our children from the dangers they may encounter. But where do we get this information that will make them safe? Be.Streetwise (bestreetwise.co.uk) is the resource and support that you have been looking for.

On average a violent encounter will last for 15 seconds. Do your students have the skills to deal with this situation in an appropriate manner? #personalsafety #safeguarding

The safest place a child can sit on the bus is next to the driver #safeguarding #personalsafety

If a younger child is lost are they clear on the plan to move them to safety? #personalsafety #safeguarding

If a child runs (or walks) at night they increase their risk of unwelcome attention #safeguarding #personalsafety

It is safer for our children to walk to school with others #personalsafety #Safeguarding

It's with great pleasure that I get to teach foster parents from Birmingham city council. Giving them the skills to de-escalate volatile & difficult situations #personalsafety #safeguarding
