Local Heroes - Devon and Cornwall

Local Heroes - Devon and Cornwall Local Heroes is a national Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) working with young people, scho

Local Heroes is new project that has been developed by Devon and Cornwall Police, with the support of Young Devon, to help schools address issues of intolerance and discrimination and deliver parts of the PSHE curriculum in a new and exciting way. As well as providing PSHE (personal well being) education, Local Heroes has three clear objectives:
- Challenge intolerance amongst young people
- Giv

e young people from all backgrounds the power to achieve their full potential
- Inspire young people to become responsible citizens who make a positive contribution to society

Local Heroes will work with school students from around Devon and Cornwall and help schools to fulfil their legal responsibilities and deliver parts of the PSHE curriculum in a new and exciting ways. Students from across the peninsula will work with local heroes at our road shows to talk about issues of race, gender, sexuality, disability and sub-cultures and see the impact that intolerance has. They will take back what they have learned and become ambassadors for Local Heroes in their schools, sharing what they have learnt and getting the debate started with their classmates. Outside the road shows we have materials to download and over the coming months look out for twitter Q&As with more Local Heroes and other Local Heroes' events.
