This unit describes a one-day crime and safety awareness event for use as a whole-school or year-group event. Pupils are involved in planning and organising the day. At the event they attend a series of workshops run by relevant local agencies. Through these, they investigate the nature and consequences of criminal and antisocial behaviour.
The first part of the unit may need to take place well before the event so that the aims and desired outcomes for pupils can be agreed. The availability of visitors should also be established. Throughout the planning process, teachers, pupils and agency representatives discuss the aims of, and their ideas for, the event. Information about involving pupils in the organisation of events is given in the Teacher's guide.
To minimise disruption, schools may wish to hold the event when, for example, year 10 pupils are on work experience and/or year 11 have left.
