Fire Safe is a 10-session one-to-one cognitive behavioural
programme aimed at medium/high-risk offenders aged between 12
and 17 years old. The programme is based on a model of change
(suggested in the theory model within the scheme programme) and
covers: - cognitive behavioural skills. - education and fire
awareness. - family involvement (where appropriate). Young
people are referred to this programme through a youth Referral
Order, which means that they have been charged with the offence
of arson. They are required to attend all sessions with their
case worker. Each Fire Safe session is led by a trained Fire
Safe practitioner from our Community Safety team.
