New Crime Prevention Modules

Overview

Developed by eski, a leading social impact media and marketing agency, the NIOC resources aim to educate young people in the Humber region about crime prevention and safety.

Building on the success of their 2024 relaunch and funding from the OPCC, NIOC now offers free resources on the following topics for Key Stage 3 and above:

• Violence against women and girls (VAWG)
• Anti-social behaviour (ASB)
• Child exploitation
• Substance use
• Violence and weapons
• Unsafe relationships
• Online harm
• Hate awareness

Reviewed by Experts

Relevant departments from Humberside Police, local authorities and experts from other organisations have reviewed and approved the educational materials. The downloadable resources include interactive presentations, lesson plans and videos.

The content was co-produced with young people and developed using trauma-informed practices. eski has also worked closely with the Humber Violence Prevention Partnership and the Education Partnership to create these materials.

About the Resources

NIOC’s educational tools help children and young people protect themselves, spot the warning signs amongst friends and know who they can go to for help. They are available for teachers, parents and those working with young people to support teaching around safety. 

Alternatively, there is an option for the sessions to be delivered by eski or with support from Humberside Police's Safer Schools Partnerships officers.

John Gilbert, founder of eski, said: “Adapting NIOC to address a wider range of social issues makes sense. By taking a more holistic approach, we’ve been able to place the focus where the biggest gains can be made when it comes to helping young people stay safe.

“We’re grateful to the specialists from all sectors who have helped make sure that we are presenting a consistent message to young people, professionals, parents and carers. It's about building knowledge, confidence and reassurance that whilst young people can control many of the issues covered in the sessions, help is always available when needed.”

A Message from Our Chair

Jonathan Evison, Police and Crime Commissioner for Humberside, said: “My Police and Crime Plan outlines a commitment to improving education to stop young people from falling into crime. By introducing more critical issues into the programme, NIOC will continue to positively impact the lives of young people in the Humber region.”
