RESPECT: Your Life, Your Choice
Community Safety Education CIC delivers preventative education to young people living in areas of high deprivation.
Reaching 800–1,000 young people in Salford, our Respect project will tackle anti-social behaviour, knife crime, vaping and other dangers to vulnerable young people, while promoting empathy, tolerance and inclusion. Through Respect sessions, young people are encouraged to understand the impact of their choices, build positive relationships and develop a stronger sense of community and togetherness. The project aims to reduce harm, improve behaviour and promote safer and connected communities in Salford.
Who the project is for
The Respect Project will be delivered to young people in Salford who live and learn in areas of high deprivation, where communities experience higher levels of anti-social behaviour, youth violence, knife crime, vaping and other risks to young people. The project will provide direct access to preventative education for approximately 800 to 1,000 young people through school settings.
What the project will include
The project will be delivered through interactive sessions designed to engage young people in meaningful discussion and learning. Sessions will include scenario-based activities, group work and open discussions that encourage young people to explore real-life situations and the consequences of different choices. Pre and post-project surveys will be used to measure changes in awareness, attitudes and understanding, helping to demonstrate the project’s impact. The sessions will also create safe spaces for young people to ask questions and share experiences around the project.
Why we do this work
The Respect Project focuses on prevention by addressing attitudes and behaviours before harm occurs. We work with this demographic specifically because they are most vulnerable to dangers and harming the communities in which they live. By encouraging tolerance and strengthening understanding of how individual actions affect others, the project will support these young people to make safer, more positive choices. This preventative approach aims to reduce anti-social behaviour, promote inclusion and help build stronger, more connected communities across Salford.
