Sev Necati Training working in partnership with Leyton Orient and the "Kickz" Football Foundation to deliver "Personal Safety" & "Gangs & Knife" training courses to young people from some of the poorest and most deprived communities.
The young people engaged in the sessions positively and learnt a lot from the training sessions.
"I learnt my rights and got how to defend myself" said one young person.
"You can warm to her, as she doesn't hold back" said another young person.
Young people can gain confidence through the sessions. They are empowering for young people. It assists young people to become more aware.
“Thank you for your recent effort for the Girdlers Cup @ Forest Gate yesterday. Everyone involved played a key part to the event. This was from LOCSP apprentices, NSC young people to the LOCSP staff.
May I take this opportunity to give special thanks to Sev and Mike for your workshops you delivered as they was outstanding and added spice to the event.”
Shamajul Motin Senior Community Development Officer
If you are working with hard to reach young people, those from Black, Asian and ethnic communities, those that have experienced violence, because of their own victimisation thus become perpetrators of crime, or any young person from the ages of 8 -25 then contact us. You, your organisation and the young people can also benefit from life saving training.

Knife Crime Increases by 8%
Knife Crime Increases by 8%
The number of victims of knife crime in London has increased by more than 8% over a three-month period, the Metropolitan Police has said.
More than 3,600 people were attacked from February to April, the figures showed.
Murder of schoolboy in south London
A senior detective has said that the murder of a 16-year-old boy, who died after having his throat slashed by attackers, is among the worst he has investigated in 25 years.
Yemurai Kanyangarara was stabbed in the neck in nearby Welling.
Detective Chief Inspector Mark Dunne described the killing as an act of "sheer brutality against a defenceless schoolboy", adding that the murder – carried out in broad daylight on a busy street – was "about as bad as it gets".
No clear motive for the attack has emerged and police cannot confirm if the weapon used was a knife. The attack caused "catastrophic injuries" and the victim died "very quickly" after the attack, said Dunne.
With these alarming figures can you ignore the extent of the growing problem on our streets. These deaths that are happening in board day-light not only affect the victim's family and friends, but a whole community.
The police are an enforcement agency so cannot protect us 24-7. We have to be able to manage and resolve conflict ourselves when it is presented.
Too many young people unfortunately are being pulled into the culture of gangs, guns and knife crime. There may be many reasons why they are, but just like the rest of the public they have fears around being attacked.
If you or your organisation work with individuals or groups of people that can become vulnerable to such violence and be victims of crime then find out how some of our training programmes can assist.
Some Comments from Our Training Programmes:
“I learnt what to do if someone takes a knife out”
“It allowed me to see the best way to handle emergency situations”
“I liked the session has it was very helpful in learning more about how to protect yourself from street crime”
“I think it was very useful to keep me away from street crime and I would like to know more”
“Learning about self-protection is really good and useful for us. We learnt how to stop a person trying to cause us harm and I’m going to try this if something happens to me”

Personal Safety Workshops A Success!!!
Female learners at the College of Haringey, Enfield and North East London have been finding out how to keep themselves and their belongings safe around College and on the street from a successful former learner who delivered a series of much wanted sessions last year.
Sev delivered a series of successful sessions for us last year and we wanted her back again. The Vice Principal Jane O’Neill met Sev through an event organised by the Metropolitan Police. Sev has worked extensivley with the Metropolitan Police and we were keen to get her on board.
Feedback from learners has likewise been overwhelmingly positive. Amongst the anonymous comments received, many commented not only on how helpful the sessions had been, but also how enjoyable.
We delivered 14 taster sessions at Tottenham and Enfield which went down a strom.
"The personal safety awareness workshops for our female learners was one of the most exciting energising and interactive workshop I have witnessed in my working in Further Education. The feedback from learners and tutor was so positive that we will definitely have Sev back in to work with our learners again. In the workshops you can hear and see the learners growing in confidence. At the end of each workshop the learners’ only complaints are that they want more session's with Sev, she is an outstanding workshop facilitator. "

We Want More Training!
Female learners at the Imperial College have been finding out how to keep themselves and their belongings safe around College and on the street from Sev Necati who has worked in partnership with the Design Against Crime research centre at Holborn, on the production of the Karrysafe bags.
Sev delivers training courses through her company, and her worked is endorsed by the Metropolitan Police.
Mel Parsons the student case worker for the principle Rob Imerson at Arts came to one of Sev's session earlier on in the year to evaluate what was being delivered. Mel was so impressed she recommended to Rob that we go ahead and provide training to female students during refresher's week. The session was so successfull that the young women that attended have asked for more!
"More sessions! Seemed there wasn't enough time. I really enjoyed the session".

College Tasters A Big Hit!!!
Young female learners at the College of Haringey, Enfield and North East London have been finding out how to keep themselves and their belongings safe around College and on the street from a successful former learner who has trained with American Special Forces units.
College alumna Sev Necati set up her own business, providing a wide range of training, after studying computing and business qualifications at the College. After studying at Southbank University – an experience she says the College prepared her for very well – Sev studied as a fitness trainer in the UK and America, including time spent with a Special Forces team. Now she delivers training courses through her company, and has worked with Haringey Local Authority and the Metropolitan Police among others.
At the sixth of a recent series of taster sessions held in the College’s Tottenham Centre gym, Sev explained how the idea for the classes first came about: “I met the College’s Vice Principal Jane O’Neill through an event organised by the Metropolitan Police. We got talking and she invited me to come in and give these short introduction sessions to the College’s female learners. They’ve gone down so well that I’m now hoping to be run another series of classes at the College’s Enfield Centre too.
The tasters last an hour, and cover some basic ideas and practical techniques for how to act if threatened or attacked. Each group of learners has had the chance to role-play situations that they may face in their daily lives, such as being confronted by a mugger. Sev explains: “The emphasis is on awareness and avoiding physical confrontation if possible – that’s why I prefer the term ‘self-protection’ to ‘self-defence’. I also teach people about the law and their rights.”
Sev has certainly enjoyed revisiting the College, and said: “It has changed a lot since I studied here – the facilities like the gym where I’ve held classes are great. I’ve been impressed with the receptive attitude of the learners too – they’re keen to pick up the techniques, and have thrown themselves into the role plays.”Feedback from learners has likewise been overwhelmingly positive. Amongst the anonymous comments received, many commented not only on how helpful the sessions had been, but also how enjoyable.

These classes were so successful we delivered another 8 taster sessions at Enfield which went down a strom.
"Just to let you know the personal safety awareness activity delivered to our beauty learners last week was a great success. The feedback from the tutor and learners was that it was very interesting and that they had great fun. The lady delivering it was able to relate to the learners on their individual levels. Please let me know of future available dates as I would like all our groups to benefit from this very useful enrichment workshop". Eleni Rotis, Curriculum Manager - Hairdressing and Beauty.

Personal Safety Course's are a Big Hit!
The Kurdish Community Centre in St Anns was host to the first set of personal safety classes organised by St Anns Safer Neighbourhoods team and Haringey Council, to help reduce fear and the perception of crime. Up to 17 women, aged between 13 and 46, attended the 2 hour classes over a number of weeks. The classe's involved theory based discussions behind staying safe and personal awareness, as well as practical techniques.
The classes, which were targeted at females from the age of 13 years, ran throughout January and February . Sgt Tim Hannah of St Anns Safer Neighbourhoods team, said: "In the summer it was identified that a section of the community, especially females felt wary about using public transport in the local area and about walking home. We have been working hard to put together these classes with an excellent instructor and believe that this is a great way to learn how to stay safe in your local neighbourhood, as well promoting personal health."
All the feedback was positive. The majority of the women who attended were very positive about the skills learnt from the classes. Further courses are due to take place in a number of venues in St Anns and Harringay wards for March and April.
One participant says: We want more Training! Please let us all know if that's possible… Great Course Karen T
Another way says: I'm writing to thank you for the course of self defence. It was excellent. Sev was a wonderful teacher and the two community police women were superb and extremely helpful with advice. I will certainly mention it to neighbours to see if any women are interested as it was so worthwhile. If there is ever a follow-up course, I would be very keen to attend. Best wishes. Aoife
