Teachers & youth workers
Victoria Legal Aid has developed a Street Law Education Kit for teachers, youth workers and other educators to help young people better understand their rights. The kit includes these videos, discussion points and activities to use in conjunction with them. Each episode tells a real or imagined story about police or PSO powers . Hard copies of the videos are available from Victoria Legal Aid.
