HMP NOT-4-ME is a fantastic educational experience of a unique but extremely important kind, targeting year 5 and 6 pupils with key messages; provoking emotional thoughts and feelings of how crime affects th
emselves, their families and their community. A little known fact is…
The Criminal Age of Responsibility is Only 10 Years of Age! HMP NOT-4-ME understand that teachers are concerned with not only academic attainment of their pupils but also teaching them about life lessons and making good choices to provide the best chance of success in their future. This is vitally important considering a child can be arrested from the age of 10. Children may think mischievous, bad behaviour or naughty actions in or out of School might just get them a telling off; but their conduct could be against the law and they can be arrested, cautioned, charged or even imprisoned! HMP NOT-4-ME appreciate the world around us is changing at such a pace and the outside influences affecting children are hard to keep up with not only for teachers but parents as well. They seem to know so many more things and at a much younger age than ever before and this influences their attitude and behaviour inside and outside of school. To help guide and steer children to make the right choices it is important that they understand the consequences of their actions. True understanding comes not only from being told what to do or not to do but also the reasons why it is important. HMP NOT-4-ME’ emphasise that Breaking School Rules can be a first sign the young people will go on to Break the Law and many people in prison fit this profile. We are passionate about helping schools and communities to help tackle this problem and as such have set up and organisation which aims to provide education of a different kind. HMP NOT-4-ME brings a real life replica Prison Cell to your School along with a day of education and understanding of the consequences of choices and behaviour. This can help aid parts of their Citizenship, PHSE, SEAL & SMSC learning journey.We providing learning opportunities and experiences in a fun but informative manner utilising inspiring and innovative workshops to cover such topics as; Bullying, Cyber Bullying/Safety, Assault, Alcohol, Drugs, Theft, Road Safety, Behaviour, Rules, Law, Choices and Consequences. HMP NOT-4-ME experience will show challenging pupils most at risk of criminal behaviour the realisms and restrictions prison life brings. In addition we highlight to all pupils many aspects of children’s lives that can also be affected by crime. A criminal record can affect a university placement, applying for a job, insurance, voluntary work or licenses of various kinds including your DBS check (New CRB Check). A criminal record can also affect family holidays as certain countries won’t allow you a Visa. It is a certainty that committing a crime puts you at a disadvantage!
