The Phoenix course
Devon & Somerset Fire & Rescue Service has a strategy for Young People and Children designed to reduce fire risk and fire crime through education by building on the core values of the Service and in doing so improve the life opportunities for young people developing life long skills. The Phoenix course is part of our youth intervention strategy providing an opportunity for young people to work with the Fire Service and take part in a variety of challenges that help to build self- esteem, develop leadership, improve communication skills and increase their motivation as a stepping stone to future success. As part of this process we discuss the impact within communities of anti-social behaviour and issues surrounding our perceptions of what type of behaviour is accepted and why. It provides an intensive work experience in a disciplined uniformed environment in an initial 5 day course followed by a sequence of structured reviews and constructive leisure activities during the 6 month period thereafter.
