Out of Your Hands?
The low down
Almost half a million phones were stolen in the UK last year - that’s
nearly 1,400 every day. Half of these victims were aged between 12 and 16.
The good news is that over 19 million people are using the free and secure
website - www.immobilise.com. This service allows you to register the details
of your phone and/or other possessions. In the case of theft or loss, this
information is available to help police investigate the crime. Mobile phones
can also be disabled using this service - 80% of stolen phones are disabled
within 48 hours of their theft being reported.
Teacher’s need to know...
We want to ‘Reduce the Appeal to Steal’ and help
young people understand the implications behind mobile phone theft. This website
has been developed to inform students that: stolen phones don’t work
anymore.
Out Of Your Hands
provides a range of activities that can
be used to deliver aspects of Citizenship, Drama and Social and Emotional Aspects
of Learning (SEAL) for 11-14 year-olds in schools in England and Wales or within
any youth setting.
