“Community safety involves minimising risk within the local community, through safety checks, presentations and working with partners”
The community safety apprenticeship is designed to train people to advise communities on safety issues. The main focus is on minimising the risk of fire within communities, but you will also learn about road safety and may be required to provide interventions with drivers and pedestrians. You will help to gather information and data that will inform strategies.

You’ll perform home safety checks, deliver group presentations and work with partner agencies to ensure that resources are targeted where they will make the greatest impact. The role will involve travel within the community, including to community centres and schools.
