Safer Choices is a self-directed skills development programme developed for young people undertaking their Bronze or Silver Duke of Edinburgh Award.  By completing the course, participants will gain insight into how their brains work and where friends fit in when it comes to decision making, in order that they are able to make more informed and safer choices in all kinds of situations… whether for themselves or to help their friends. There are also some simple strategies that can be put in place straightaway – using a mobile phone – to help young people stay safer, notably in social situations.
