Skills for Life
Exploitation Awareness
Real, straight information about people who try to use or trap young people — from a specialist, in a safe room. No one asks your story. You leave knowing it's never your fault, and knowing who to call.

- 1 session
- Who leads it
- A partner delivers the content; New Steps hosts it
- Certificate
- New Steps Certificate — competence-based, signed off when the young person has shown the skill on a real task
A coach checks in one-to-one before, and follows up the same day after.
What they leave with
- Their own reflection, if they want one — spoken, written or drawn, and never a test
- A referral and reporting card
- The help numbers, in their phone
- A support map of who is in their corner
What this module is not
New Steps brokers, hosts, wraps and coaches. A booked specialist delivers the content.
How we hold the room
No one is asked to tell their story, and nothing in the session is tested.
How it connects
Modules are built to stack. Where one has already taught a skill, the next one recalls it rather than teaching it again.
Is this a fit for someone you work with?
A caseworker reaches out, we book a tour, and we work out together whether New Steps is the right place. When a room is open, a referral can come together in about a week. When we are full, we will say so. New Steps is not an emergency placement service — we do not take same-day or overnight placements.
