The Personal & Travel Safety workshop will combine theory and physical practice leaving students with a greater sense of awareness and critical thinking skills under pressure as well as an opportunity to learn simple techniques of self-defence that are useful in real world scenarios.
The Travel Safety component prepares students for being independent, whether it is settling into a new university or going on a Gap Year or holiday. We guide students through scenario planning and provide practical resources and checklists to assist. Travel safety involves specific knowledge and planning for the location that you are travelling to including damage limitation and contingency planning.
