School talks are one of the best ways to get the Leaver’s message and give students an understanding of what to expect and what to do to be prepared for Leavers, and there are a number of agencies that are involved with the planning of Leavers and provide on the ground outreach, support and activities during the celebration.
These agencies regularly deliver the Leavers School Presentation and are willing to present information. Each agency can provide a focus on particular issues related to Leavers such as alcohol and drugs, sexual health, healthy relationships, road safety and have several years experience in managing Leavers. If you would like an agency to present, contact one of the agencies below for more information, or the Office of Crime Prevention for further details.
