"it's a course every
woman should go on. I
feel more confident now
about being out at night
and am more aware of my
surroundings"

Freedom Personal Safety
is a social enterprise established to help women and children
increase awareness of their personal safety and understand
what they can do to protect themselves.


We are personal safety specialists and are trained basic physical defence
instructors. We run a
9 hour course for women of all ages and abilities which is
a combination of discussion, advice and simple, but effective, physical
techniques to defend against sexual assault or rape.

Our
safety course for kids uses fun activities and games
to communicate essential safety messages. We also run
lively, interactive
sessions on personal safety.

We have been awarded funding by Unltd, Community
Champions and the Grassroots Fund to run a series of
subsidised courses in the North of England, particularly
to those from excluded groups or where crime levels
are high. Community Spirit in Slaithwaite and Meltham
Crossroads have given us funding to run courses for women
in west Yorkshire.

We plan to establish a network of instructors who can
teach the course to women and children in their
communities.
If you are interested in training to become
an instructor, please use the form on our
contact page
or
email us.

Freedom Personal Safety is run by Elaine Howard and
Julie Tweedale, trained personal safety instructors who
have a range of experience in women's personal safety
tuition.
Julie is also an ambassador for the Joyful Child Foundation which is
dedicated to protecting children from sexual abuse and abduction.
protect yourself and keep your freedom
