Course Description

SKU: CR014C, CR016O

HMA Street SAFE provides the foundation for personal safety and security against unforeseen events. The course is underpinned with industry best practice for conflict management and situational awareness. The skills and knowledge gained through the session provides reassurance for managing conflict, avoiding risks and developing positive actions when faced with danger.

HMA Street SAFE recognises the growing concerns around personal safety and security. We at Comera in partnership with ‘help me Angela’, want to offer a product to better equip people with the confidence, skills and knowledge for enjoying life and independence; equally we recognise the worries and concerns held, and aim to reassure and equip attendees with practical solutions and common sense skills to avoid and escape.

Contextual teaching and learning will offer context to protect against threats and unknown hazards, thereby developing skills and knowledge to help mitigate the risks of everyday life. Learners develop a range of skills including situational awareness and conflict management in response to potential threats such as mugging, common assault or coercion for negative gain.

Each attendee receives a one year membership to the ‘help me Angela’ app, ‘We’ve got you’, reminding members of lessons learned, while supporting post incident needs.
