This subject is designed to provide students with the necessary knowledge and abilities to comprehend various aspects of security, safety, and personal protection within their communities and beyond.
The scheme of work covers topics like crime prevention and emergency management. Through both theoretical teachings and practical activities, students gain insights into potential risks and strategies for risk reduction, nurturing a sense of accountability toward their safety and that of others.
