the stay safe initiative
London
About us In 2013, following many years of working with local young people
through martial arts, self-protection as well as life skills training, Richard
Pomfrett created ‘Stay Safe! Workshops’. His vision was to help educate and
protect as many young people as possible on the subjects of bullying and
abduction prevention. It was by starting off working closely with a handful of
local schools, that gave him the opportunity to develop and create such unique
and effective programmes for both. Since 2013 Richard’s passion for his work as
pushed him to continually evolve and shape ‘Stay Safe! Workshops’ to fit the
needs of young people today. It is through these specialised and unique
sessions, that we aim to educate as many young people as possible. Raising
awareness and passing on vital skills and knowledge at key stages in their
development and helping prevent them from becoming part of the future dire
statistics. The Birth of The Stay Safe Initiative.cic In 2019 ‘Stay Safe!
Workshops’ become ‘The Stay Safe Initiative’. To further benefit the community
in which we work, we made the decision to take our work from the private sector
into the public sector. By doing this, we aim to take the valuable work we do
with young people, into building stronger relationships with everyone we work as
well as giving us scope to grow and play a bigger role within the community.
Growing with the times, The Stay Safe Initiative continues to works with young
people on the original subjects of Bullying and Abduction Prevention (Stranger
Awareness) but now also provides relevant Internet Safety advice as well as
training up many young people within schools to be Stay Safe! Mentors (possibly
to become future members of #teamstaysafe themselves one day). As times move
forward we continue to evolve and stay relevant ensuring we are delivering the
best, most up-to-date education on the subjects we now specialise in.
