Everyone should get their teens to go through this. Mine honestly didn’t have a clue what they’d do in a bad situation. The first part even sparked a bit of a row and they didn’t like being challenged. But by the end, both could clearly explain what they’d do if some creep followed them. It opened their eyes, and mine too.

This training is really useful. The idea of my boy being chased by a gang terrifies me but at least now he has a game plan. We talked through some “what if” situations and it’s given us both ideas on how to escape. Nothing’s guaranteed, but I agree with the idea that doorbell cams can be a game changer.

Straight to the point, not fluffy. Gave us a lot to think about over dinner.

I’ve been getting a new safety hack every few days and they’ve all been really practical — things I’d never even thought to teach. I’m not sharing the drink spiking one with my daughter just yet, she’s not there age-wise. But I’m saving it. The rest have been spot on and easy to talk through.

We don’t have the luxury of pretending bad stuff doesn’t happen. Two of my sons mates were both mugged by a group of scum. This training helped me talk to my son without sounding like I was telling him what to do. It gives them tools without scaring them. Longest conversation I had with him for a while as well lol.

Some of it was hard to hear but that’s probably why it works. Glad we did it together.

We’ve all been drilling the move for about a week now. Didn’t go great at first, we couldn’t get the hang of it, so I sent an email with a question. Stu actually replied with a personal video breaking it down step by step. Brilliant. He’s clearly serious about helping young people get more street savvy. I’ve signed the petition to get this into schools.

Some tough topics but handled well. I skipped a couple of bits for now, will go back later.

I can see that the material is useful, and it’s probably helpful for some families. But I just can’t bring myself to share it with my 13-year-old. We live in a quiet village, no gangs, no phone thieves, and I don’t want to put those fears in her head. Maybe if things change, I’ll come back to it.

Didn’t realise how little my kids had thought this through. We had a proper chat after.

I wasn’t sure what this was when I first saw it. I thought it was going to be one of those cheesy awareness packs that no one takes seriously. But it’s actually solid. Practical stuff, no fluff, and it made my daughter stop scrolling and actually talk to me. That alone makes it worth it.

There’s some edgy stuff in here so I didn’t share everything with my 12-year-old. But my 18-year-old daughter was basically forced to go through it with me (lol) and even she admitted it was an eye opener. The examples felt very real, not sugar-coated, and hopefully that will make her remember what to do if something dodgy happens.

Love love love the idea of drilling the move before you brush your teeth. It forced me (yes, I’m doing it too) to practise the moves with my kids in a small space, and that could be exactly where something happens one day. Brilliant habit-builder. We’re all in.

I had no idea you could lock your iPhone after it’s been stolen. I’ve now set up screen lock tactics for the whole family thanks to the training. Simple, clear, and makes you realise how exposed we really are. Starting the self-defence move part next!

Step 1 kicked off a proper chat with the kids. We’ve set up the phone locks (so easy btw), still trying to get into the habit stuff. The visualisation bit was a bit out there for us 😂 but the rest was solid. Keep sending the amazing resources. Feels good to be doing something. Big thanks.

I think every parent needs to do this but heads up, some bits are intense. I probably should've gone slower because the car in the drive stuff freaked my two out a bit at first. But honestly I'd rather deal with that now than have them totally unprepared. The world’s not what it was when we were growing up.

That alone makes it a win. He even showed his mate the drill after.

My daughter was not interested at first, rolled her eyes and said it sounded dramatic. But by the 4th scenario she started asking questions and even showed me how she'd use one of the safety tactics. This isn't scaremongering, very smart and relatable. Honestly wish schools taught this as standard.

This gave me a way to talk to my son about danger without sounding like an overbearing parent. We used the checklist together and he came up with ideas I hadn’t even considered. I feel better knowing we’ve actually talked through real-life scenarios.

Nothing isn't going to stop me worrying about her as she starts university but this really helped open up a great conversation about safety, and even I can do the self-defence move they show you in the video. Thank you for this. Can't wait to get the info on drink spiking.

My son is 7 so a bit young for most of this but for me the phone tech is really useful. My friend had her phone snatched out of her hand in London. It would have saved her so much trouble if she had shortcuts set up. Shared with eveyrone I know.

Doing the kit and the chats we had means both my daughters are more clued up. It scared me how naive they were when we got chatting. We are all glad we did it.
