Sussex PCC's video update: Safer Streets funding and new Safer Streets survey

The support given by PCC Bourne has allowed for all state-funded secondary schools, including special schools, in East Sussex to have the opportunity to get a visit from AlterEgo Productions. The company have devised a specialised ‘theatre in education performance’ where, through acting and storytelling, young people are engaged in learning about safe healthy relationships, harmful behaviours, equality and respect.

The funding has also enabled supporting lesson plans to go ahead, where young people can have conversations about what they’ve learnt and explore these topics further. PCC Katy Bourne went to visit a secondary school that is setting a brilliant example in teaching Years 7-11 about healthy relationships. She watched the performance by AlterEgo Productions and spoke to performers in the show as well as some of the pupils who had watched it and are receiving the specialised PSHE lessons. Find out more by watching the video.

Also, Katy Bourne has launched her new Safer Streets survey to hear views on how safe residents feel in Sussex and how they think safety can be improved, so that the needs of Sussex's communities are reflected in the bid for the Safer Streets funding.
