Firesetters
The aim of the Firesetter’s scheme is
to help children and young people
understand and control the feelings and
circumstances that lead them to start
fires. Our trained advisors will also
help the child or young person to
understand the results of their actions
through a series of visits and
educational exercises at the child’s
home or other neutral venue.
Children who play with fire do so for a
variety of reasons including genuine
curiosity, attention seeking, anger and
revenge. Without help and guidance,
firesetting behaviour can become
increasingly serious and lead to
injury, damage to property and
tragically, death.
Early recognition and confrontation of
this behaviour through a Firesetter
referral can ensure it does not
continue into adulthood.
