HMP Not-4-Me

emselves, their families and their community. A little known fact is…

The Criminal Age of Responsibility is Only 10 Years of Age! HMP NOT-4-ME understand that teachers are concerned with not only academic attainment of their pupils but also teaching them about life lessons and making good choices to provide the best chance of success in their future. This is vitally important considering a child can be arrested from the age of 10. Children may think mischievous, bad behaviour or naughty actions in or out of School might just get them a telling off; but their conduct could be against the law and they can be arrested, cautioned, charged or even imprisoned! HMP NOT-4-ME appreciate the world around us is changing at such a pace and the outside influences affecting children are hard to keep up with not only for teachers but parents as well. They seem to know so many more things and at a much younger age than ever before and this influences their attitude and behaviour inside and outside of school. To help guide and steer children to make the right choices it is important that they understand the consequences of their actions. True understanding comes not only from being told what to do or not to do but also the reasons why it is important. HMP NOT-4-ME’ emphasise that Breaking School Rules can be a first sign the young people will go on to Break the Law and many people in prison fit this profile. We are passionate about helping schools and communities to help tackle this problem and as such have set up and organisation which aims to provide education of a different kind.
