     Unfortunately in today's World there is a real need for personal safety and awareness. This means being "aware" of, and about, your personal safety at all times and to be "aware" of everything that is happening around you. This introductory level personal safety course is designed for people of all ages and abilities. It is aimed at every day awareness, personal safety and "streetwise" ability.

     Courses can be customised to your own needs be it at your School, Club, Work Place, or a venue arranged by us. Courses give participants the opportunity to gain self-awareness, self-esteem and a good insight into personal safety. The development of self-awareness and self-esteem will reinforce a person's ability to take the action necessary to ensure their personal safety; a collateral aim is to increase awareness of potentially dangerous situations. Emphasis is also placed on reducing the need for "self defence" techniques. Avoidance, Escape and Self Defence as a last resort.

     Courses can be run in your place of work, during lunch breaks or immediately after work. Alternatively a course can be booked privately for your group outside of the work place.

     Dress for any courses should be loose fitting clothing (no jeans, zips, buttons) and clean training shoes.

WHO SHOULD LEARN PERSONAL SAFETY

     In our opinion everyone should be aware of his or her own Personal Safety. Unfortunately many people do not feel it is necessary, do not have the time or simply lack the interest. Personal Safety, including Self Defence, does not have to be complicated. It is not a martial arts system that takes years to learn. It does not require a high level of physical fitness.

SCHOOL AGE/CLUBS

     Children can be very vulnerable in today's society. It is also in their nature to be very trusting. Courses consist of simple personal safety techniques, diffusing possible attack situations or preventing undesirable physical contact. Courses include safety in the home, on the street, public transport, reaction to strangers. This course is ideal for schools, clubs etc.

STUDENTS

     This is designed for the older student. College security, car parks, badly lit areas, remote faculty buildings. Many students and mature students need to attend college/school at night and may wish to consider some form of personal safety course. Courses would also include issues of particular concern to students.

OFFICE/BUSINESS EMPLOYEES

     Courses are structured to suit your business (e.g. Long intensive course, weekly class, short intensive etc…) Addressed here will be safety issues that may arise, late night public transport, travel, security, car parks particular relevant for shift workers or irregular hours. Also covered working in isolated buildings, lifts, stairwells. Also included "Self Defence" techniques for escaping from potentially dangerous situations should they occur.
