RADAR, Belfast

Who are we?

RADAR NI (Risk Avoidance and Danger Awareness Resource) is Northern Ireland's first fully interactive safety and life skills centre. At RADAR we put children and young people at the heart of what we do. With our platform of more than 50 expert partners, we deliver interactive, informative and fun workshops for groups of children and young people giving them the opportunity to explore every day dangers in a risk free setting. RADAR has been designed to inspire, engage and inform young people. It is a ground-breaking and innovative way to educate children and young people.

Programmes:

We deliver age appropriate education on a range of safety and life skills areas.  Our programmes complement those delivered in schools across Northern Ireland. We cover a range of topics and offer  varied programmes including:
  • Key stage 2 (ages 9-11) which prepare our young people for a safe adventure through life.
  • Key stage 4 (ages 14-16) which allows the opportunity to explore significant risks that face them on a daily basis.
  • Young Drivers (age 17+) which explores and addresses the consequences of poor driving decisions in a powerful and highly interactive way.  Having explored the freedom that driving brings, young people will then experience the dangers of distraction driving in our state of the art car simulator. 
  • Bespoke – We love doing something different and are very happy to bespoke a programme to the needs of any group. Previously we have designed and led programmes for older people, adults and young people with additional needs and for groups of people who work within the childcare field.
