If you're as old as me you can probably only just remember what it was like to be a teenager. In fact I'm getting to the point in my life now when I can only just about remember what I did yesterday!

One thing I can remember about being young however is that nobody could tell me what to do. Just like every other teenager I had to go my own way and make all my own mistakes. We all tend to be particularly headstrong when we are young. We rebel against any kind of authority and if you try and tell us what to do, particularly if it's for our own good, we're very likely to purposefully go out of our way to do the exact opposite. We absolutely cannot be preached to, nomatter how good the intentions of the preacher.

That's why, when we are helping local authorities implement home office directives to promote safety in the community,  we do things differently.

Our aim is to provide services that have a verifiably positive effect on the thoughts and actions of young people.

We are using the mobile phone to communicate with young people in a medium that they are familiar and comfortable with. We don't preach, we engage and because we are working on some varied, worthwhile and interesting projects we are loving the work too.

If you're interested in finding out how we've been engaging with young people to help promote safety in the community, get in touch and we'd be happy to share our recent case studies with you.
