This year the Community Safety Officer has worked with a borough secondary school to create Information Packs to be handed to Parents at Parents Evenings. The pack includes information leaflets from Parentlineplus, Drink Aware, Connexions, and Frank.(All of these organisations websites can be access through our Feedback and Advice pages).

TRAPT (Teenage Road Accident Prevention Training)

This hard-hitting course organised by Hampshire Fire and Rescue in Fareham, is aimed at young peoples understanding of the importance of driving in a safe manner. Its a half day course and is run by local Firefighters. Currently individuals are referred onto the course through the Anti Social Behaviour Officer.

School Education Programmes

The Community Safety Team has worked with the Youth Service to develop 3 School programmes based around Community Safety which can be delivered to tutor or year groups. These cover the themes of Graffiti, Community Perceptions and Criminal Damage. The programmes are centered around the individual school requirements and try to reflect the Curriculum. The delivery of programmes can be in the form of interactive sessions or short sessions involving other agencies, normally delivered to a year group in a circuit style over one afternoon (often referred to as a carousel).

Hot Summer Nights 2007
