What is the Safeguarding Code in Martial Arts?

The Safety Box Blunting the Edge of Knife Crime.

For the last 18 years, The Safety Box® has moved from strength to strength in delivering a range of evidenced based accredited AQA & CPD programs to not only those in prison, girls and women, youth at risk, and young people; but also to IOM Probation, the Police, Prison Officers, Social Workers, Parents, Caregivers, Professionals working with girls and youth at risk and delivering practical self-defence sessions for young people.

Based in South East England, with an endless knowledge of working within the custodial and community setting, we have helped thousands of troubled youth and also young adults too as well as delivering early intervention strategies to schools and local authorities who are concerned.

We are now starting to turn our focus to other areas of the business, whilst still maintaining our true values of providing a high-quality service. Our new focus is to both students within education as well as early intervention strategies for parents and continuing our work in preventative measures with regards to knife crime, prison work and youth violence.

Another area for The Safety Box® CIC is that we have also moved into the digital space with online 1-2-1 youth mentoring for both the troubled youth and concerned parents who are simply looking to safeguard and inform their children and themselves about issues surrounding gangs, drugs, knife crime and mental health.

Moving forward, The Safety Box® CIC has adapted post COVID and have added to our usual in-person trainings a digital, or online solution where we also offer online youth mentoring and therapy programs for individuals, training for professionals working with youth at risk, this is where we offer training for youth workers, mentors, counsellors, teachers and front-line staff, where they can attain a professional certificate.

If you're interested in our youth programs or training for professionals or if you are a concerned parent who needs official and accredited advice and tips please do not hesitate to contact us.

Alternatively, if you are also tackling hard hitting issues and would like to know how to have an early intervention with your children or any struggling, troubled youth you may know, get in contact with us today to discuss how we can help you achieve the fulfilling and rewarding achievement of helping the troubled youth of today break free from negative situations.

As a way of adapting to any lingering COVID-19 within the estate, we are also offering in cell education packs for prisons in gold command and less.

We take our programs very seriously and recognise the importance of a rigorous evaluation method to inform us so that we can constantly improve our interventions. Viewing violence through the lens of public health, The Safety Box employs an evidence-based model, proven to reduce violence in different cultural contexts and we provide a wide range of refined system of training and development in helping young people and young adults develop important skills such as leadership, communication, team working, presentation, high risk conflict resolution, violence reduction, personal development and problem solving.

Through our reseach we recognise that these are some of the essential keys to success. They open doors to learning, to life in addition to work.

They are a platform on which to build employability skills and the gateway to future well-being and prosperity.

Many of our programs have been improved based on this research and consequently new programs have been developed which is continuing to impact lives.

There is a growing need to demonstrate to young adults that there are ways to avoid gangs bullying, harassment or more serious, violent situations. Where avoiding threat is not possible, we show how to manage and control dangerous situations.

Creative arts

Empowering Creativity, Elevating Voices, Building Futures…

The Safety Box runs a number of programs and over the last 15 years we have worked with many artist who have contributed to our projects with musical performances, and sessions designed to inspire and equip individuals with practical skills in creative arts, vocal performance, and event management.

By blending artistic expression with real-world experience, participants engage in a dynamic learning environment that fosters talent, confidence, and career readiness. Many young people possess hidden talents, particularly in rap and spoken word (Colloqually termed as “Spitting”), but often rap using h negative words or their enemies. Before they join our program, many have a limited mindset or they become frustrated that limit their creative expression.

However, combined with our flagship initiatives, we aim to harness the power of music as a tool for transformation. By channeling their energy into positive musical output, we help to further shift mindsets, build confidence, and encourage constructive artistic expression. After completing the program, their perspective changes, and they discover new ways to use their talent for growth, empowerment, and future opportunities.  

Creative Writing and music Recording

Through our partnership with Syrus Consultancy along with our wrap around programs we empower young people to explore creative writing, rehearsals, and vocal recordings as part of Respect the Game, an initiative designed to inspire artistic growth. This program provides learners with a structured pathway toward achieving a Bronze Arts Award at Level One, equipping them with valuable skills in music and performance. Beyond education, Respect the Game serves as a launchpad for young artists, guiding them toward success in the music industry. By fostering creativity, discipline, and technical expertise, we help participants build confidence, refine their talents, and take meaningful steps toward a future in music.
