The Children's Society: Safe in Essex

Safe in Essex provides information, early intervention and support to young people aged 8-19 years who are identified as at risk of, or already engaging in, risky behaviours. Our aim is to give early help and support options for children and young people, looking to reduce risk-taking behaviours by children and young people and improve their future outcomes.

We deliver groupwork for children and young people covering topics such as E-safety, healthy relationships, resilience, anger management, exam stress etc. and general risk taking behaviour and we do this by conducting 6 group work sessions, usually held within the school. We cannot work with anyone who has had involvement from statutory or specialist services (for example Social Services, Family Solutions, EWMHS, long term counselling etc.) or for whom the need is deemed too high for early intervention support and the young person requires a more specialist, more long term, support
