The Confident Resilient Children (CRC) Project aims to support Year 5-6 (age 9-11) children to build resilience and confidence and keep them safe from exploitation and criminality. Delivered by the Titan

Partnership, together with Lime and Emerge Leadership, the programme combines universal and targeted elements and reached 9,000 children from over 49 schools over three years

The Youth Endowment Fund (YEF) is a charity with a ten-year £200m endowment to prevent children and young people becoming involved in violence. They do this by finding out what works and building a

movement to put this knowledge into practice, focused on keeping young people safe from violence.

YEF concluded that the CRC project:

‐ Supported pupils to self-reflect and self-regulate, show

empathy for others, resolve conflicts, and develop confidence

‐ Supported better decision making, confidence, co-operation

and listening among children

Teachers and CRC Champions stated that:

‐ The content and activities used (such as iPad activities, graphic

novels, role plays and scenario-based games) facilitated

improved engagement in the classroom

‐ Teacher-pupil relationships improved

‐ The training comprehensively covered the content and

resources, and valued the ongoing support

Mentors reported:

‐ Improved decision making, confidence, co-operation and listening among children

‐ Feeling better equipped to work with a wider range of pupils

‐ How training content was tailored to the local context
