ASB Awareness For Children And Young Adults

ASB Training Providers have developed courses for children and young adults to enhance their understanding of anti social behaviour.

These sessions are specifically targeted to introduce the concept of anti social behaviour, highlighting what is acceptable and unacceptable behaviour in their communities. The modules concentrate on perceptions of anti social behaviour and provides an opportunity for younger people to try and understand why other would feel intimidated by some aspects of the way young people like to spend their leisure time in public places.

The modules give the younger generation an opportunity to voice their own concerns about how they are treated in society and attempts to provide answers for their future understanding. There are restorative aspects to the modules and also an outline of what tools and powers agencies have at their disposal to tackle unacceptable behaviour. the modules are based on group work , visual presentation and a certificate is awarded at the end of the session.
