Summary
We are working with young people aged 12-17 to educate them around knife crime, criminal exploitation and grooming. We need volunteers to run education sessions
Detailed description
SkillZONE is Gloucestershire’s only interactive life skills village where people of all ages can learn how to keep themselves safe, whether at home or in their community. Our Streetwize project concentrates on the tougher conversations and scenarios around grooming, county lines, and knife crime. These scenarios ask appropriate yet thought-provoking questions to give children and young people the power to speak up, report, and protect themselves from these crimes.
We are looking for volunteer educators to deliver 2 hour sessions at our centre in Tuffley, Gloucester in term time. Full training given and DBS, references needed and volunteers need to be 18.
Volunteers will gain invaluable experience working with young people, delivering education sessions and making a huge difference to young people's lives.
This project is funded by the Police Crime Commissioner.

About SkillZONE
SkillZONE is Gloucestershire’s only interactive life skills village where people of all ages can learn how to keep themselves safe whether at home or in their community. We offer safety education and bespoke programmes for schools and community groups. SkillZONE has been designed to reduce unintentional injury from fire, road and leisure accidents, reduce anti-social behaviour, improve health and wellbeing and increase social inclusion for all ages. These outcomes are achieved through a combination of prevention safety education sessions in our scenario village. This work changes attitudes and behaviour by identifying risks and understanding how to make safer choices. This is intended to reduce attendance at Accident & Emergency, delay or prevent first entry into the criminal justice system and reduce the pressure on mental health services.
