#consequences
#consequences is our annual community safety and awareness event aimed at year 9 pupils. It addresses issues relating to young people that have been identified as a key concern in the Epping Forest district.
Hosted by our Community, Health and Wellbeing team, specialist service providers have been commissioned to deliver key messages about personal safety and wellbeing. They highlight the dangers of online safety, and look at relationships and the consequences of gang activity.
Your decisions, your actions, your consequences
We aim to provide pupils in the Epping Forest district with the latest information and guidance to enable them to make the right choices regarding the issues facing them.
Our partner agencies use theatre and case studies to talk through the impact and consequences of their decisions and actions, highlighting the consequences both positive and negative.
