Our educational programme develops student life skills and builds on existing curriculum links within student primary education, developing on the concept of ‘Stranger Danger’ and expectations within the school junior/senior cycle including CSPE and SPHE, anti-bullying, student well-being, communication and positive assertiveness and third level education.

This interactive programme is a must for teachers, adults, youth workers, team leaders and parents. The subjects covered are sensitive, real and are having a huge impact on young people today on their personal and social development.

This programme helps primary school students develop increased personal safety and awareness. They will learn to recognise and evaluate a range of situations and assess their own position within those situations. Students will be taught methods and skills to be more aware and better protect themselves promoting their personal safety. Personal Safety and Awareness is an invaluable aspect of student development, beneficial to all students moving onto secondary school. This programme complements and reinforces elements within the Social, Personal, Health Education aspect of the primary school curriculum for fifth and sixth class students.

By definition, a lone worker is someone who performs an activity that is carried out in isolation from other workers without close or direct supervision. Such staff may be exposed to risks and hazards concerning their personal safety and because there is no-one to assist them a risk assessment may be required. Lone workers are often vulnerable and can at times be in confrontational or compromising situations.

Often seen as the front line members of staff, reception/counter employees face many situations, some of which involve dealing with challenging behaviour from members of the public.
