WYFRS - Crime Prevention
Youth Intervention team specialises in targeted interventions for young people who are most likely to use or instigate the use of a blue light service at some point in their lives. It includes experienced youth trainers and firefighters who are experts in the delivery of interactive youth interventions. We are keen to act as positive role models because we are passionate about young people's experiences.
Our target audience is any young person in West Yorkshire who may experience inequality in their education, housing, health and wellbeing. Barriers including poverty, having a troubled home life, mental health issues, being involved in antisocial behaviour (ASB) and possibly having a conviction or struggling with drug/alcohol issues, are all areas we wish to work with other partner agencies to break down.
Through offering additional opportunities for young people to develop their character, resilience, and determination, we will be a service to inspire behaviour change. We are not only raising their current safety awareness but developing their social responsibility and skills for their future.
Current intervention programmes:
Educational Interventions (Consequences of Arson, Road Safety Awareness, ASB Impact, Water Safety)
Fire setting Interventions;
Targeted Intervention Days - Safe & Sound (from 8 Years), RescYOU (from 8 Years), Action Strike Back (from 11 Years), Crackers (from 11 Years); Fast, Furious & Fatal (from 15 Years)
Core Interventions
Grit (for 8-11 Years); Shout (for 8-11 Years); Fire Fit ( 8 - 18 Years); Fire Work (14 years and above); Crash and Burn (16 – 25 years).
If you are working with a young person who is displaying fire setting/dangerous driving behaviours, you can put in a referral for a 1:1 intervention.
