Youth Personal Safety Workshop - Surrey

Service Description

Personal Safety & Self-Defence Workshop for Teens (Ages 12–18) This one-day workshop is open to everyone, with no prior experience or training needed. Designed to equip young people aged 12 to 18 with essential personal safety and self-defence skills, the focus is on prevention—recognising risks early and making safe choices to avoid danger altogether. However, should the worst happen, we teach practical, realistic self-defence strategies to respond effectively. 🟩 Situational Awareness – Recognising risks, assessing environments, and making safe choices. 🟩 Conflict Management & De-escalation – Understanding how to defuse situations before they escalate. 🟩 Anatomy & Response – Exploring how the body reacts in a threatening situation and how to manage fear, prevent freezing, and use natural responses effectively. 🟩 Practical Self-Defence Skills – Simple, effective techniques that anyone can use in real-world situations. 🟩 Understanding the Law – A brief overview of legal considerations around self-defence and personal safety. 🟩 Becoming a Hard Target – How to present yourself confidently, set boundaries, and deter potential threats. Sessions are fun, interactive, and engaging, designed to build a mental blueprint that helps young people assess situations, make confident decisions, and respond under pressure. The training also strengthens resilience, equipping participants with the mindset and skills to navigate challenges safely—whether out with friends, travelling alone, or starting college or university. This course provides young people with the knowledge, confidence, and real-world skills to stay safe and feel empowered in any environment. All instructors are DBS-checked and safeguarding qualified, ensuring a safe and supportive learning environment.
