FireSmart
FireSmart aims to work directly with high-risk individuals, within Greater Manchester, aged 17 and under, who are exhibiting signs of fire setting behaviour.
Through FireSmart we offer a free, confidential programme to deliver prevention education and advice to both the individual and referrer.
Anyone can be referred onto this programme from a variety of sources including parents, teachers, Youth Justice Board, Probation Service and other services.
We run one to one sessions with the individual referred and the total number of visits carried out will vary depending on each individual circumstance. They can be delivered at one of our fire stations, and education or setting.
Sessions cover:
- Understanding risks and consequences of fire-setting behaviour
- Understanding why the individual is choosing to set fires
- Raising awareness of dangers involved in fire-setting behaviour
If you are concerned about a child or young person who is involved in fire setting behaviour and would like to refer them onto the FireSmart programme please complete the online referral form. In case of any difficulties and assistance completing this form call 0800 555 815.
