About Our GANGS Programme 

 

The GANGS (Get Away ‘N’ Get Safe) programme was developed using both professional research, best practice guidance and personal experience and is continuing to be developed as new research and material comes to light.

The GANGS programme is an intensive 5 session educational, preventative and diversionary programme which aims to educate young people on the dangers of the gang lifestyle for the individual, their families and the wider community. The content covers issues such as joint enterprise, consequences, retaliation, victims and criminal explotation.

It is anticipated that the GANGS programme will empower young people to make informed decisions about their current or future associates and lifestyle, thus reducing the potential risks of gang related behaviour. 

The programme is inclusive of all learning styles and uses presentations, role play, music and videos to engage the participants whilst continually sending out the message, “Get Away ‘N’ Get Safe".

 

Who We've Delivered the Progamme To

The GANGS programme has already been delivered to over 5000 participants from age 9-16 in schools, pupil referal units, alternative education providers and youth and community centres across England. The programme is suitable for both males and females and the GANGS programme can also be delivered to all female groups with a specific focus on exploitation if required.

The five sessions are approximately one hour in duration and the participants are given a workbook to complete and are directed to local resources.

The GANGS programme is also available as a one to one intervention which may be useful for individuals who may of been identified as having a need (i.e. by a school, satutory agency or concerned parent).
