Youth Arson

Encouraging students to stay safe and understand risk is fundamental when addressing issues surrounding arson and anti-social behaviour. Reducing incidents of youth arson and secondary fires not only makes for safer communities but enables Fire and Rescue Services to remain on stand-by for larger-scale incidents.

Through a challenging and engaging live performance, interactive workshops and comprehensive support materials students are encouraged to develop practical and realistic skills and attitudes to enable them to stay safe.

The programme enables students to explore:

  The dangers and risks of arson and fire

  The effects arson can have on themselves, other people and the fire service

  Setting fires in derelict buildings or abandoned cars is not a victimless crime

  All fires begin as small fires, they get out of control very easily

  Assaulting the fire crew attending these fires is a criminal offence

This project is designed for Key Stage 3 and links directly with National Curriculum aims and guidelines for

PSHEE: Personal Wellbeing and Citizenship.
