On the 18th February Street Trainers from Sceaux Gardens Estate delivered a training session for 10 members of Southwark Police. At the end of the session we asked two questions.

"What is the most important thing you have learned today?"

There are easier ways or different ways to interact with young people.

How many officers can fit in a telephone box.

Sceaux Street Trainers kicked off the February half term with an afternoon of fun, games and challenges.

Working on team building, communication and leadership skills we began to prepare for what will be an eventful half term...

Some of the challenges:

standing on one leg
racing each other
spelling words backwards
reciting poems
making and keeping promises
describing our surroundings
