Young people have been spending a day in the CELLS in a
bid to educate them about the consequences of anti social behaviour and
crime.
Held at Derbyshire Hill Youth
Club, St.Helens, CELLS (Choices, Educations, Lifelong Learning Skills) it
involved members of St.Helens Community Safety Partnership including St.Helens
Council youth service and youth offending team, Merseyside Fire & Rescue,
Merseyside Police and Christchurch Haydock. Arriva also supplied free bus
tickets to ferry youngsters to the event.
The CELLS team includes rehabilitated ex offenders and victims of
crime who relay their negative experiences to young people in the hope of
educating them about the reality of engaging in crime. The project works with
schools and other local organisations, raising awareness and changing common
perceptions of criminal activity. One of the ways they do this is by
demonstrating what life is like behind bars - an active experience which is
intended as a deterrent.
The main aims of
the CELLS programmes are to give young people an understanding of.
· Anti Social
Behaviour
· Crime and Consequences
·
Drugs & Drug Awareness
· Gang
Culture
Councillor Richard McCauley, Cabinet Member for
Environmental Protection and Safer Communities said: "This is a very
informative and hard hitting campaign to help young people understand the
consequences of bad behaviour which could easily lead into a life of
crime.”
