Three active programmes, one pipeline. Each is designed to turn commitment into capability — and capability into community protection.
60 assessments. 12 disciplines. One standard. The 12-Point Programme is the backbone of FFCA training — a structured curriculum that prepares Steppers for real-world community protection. Every assessment is graded, every discipline must be passed before deployment.
Trauma management, CPR, wound care, and crisis stabilisation. Every Stepper is expected to respond in the first 10 minutes of any medical emergency.
Stop and search, citizens' arrest, safeguarding law, and your rights when operating in public. Steppers understand the legal landscape before they step into it.
Patrol formations, environmental scanning, situational awareness, and safe positioning. Not combat — precision and presence. Knowing where to be and where not to be.
Approaching individuals in crisis with language that de-escalates. Recognising symptoms of trauma, abuse, and mental health distress. Listening as an active intervention.
Recognising grooming, county lines, criminal exploitation, and trafficking indicators. Reporting protocols and immediate referral pathways. Mandatory knowledge for every Stepper.
Verbal and non-verbal techniques for defusing volatile situations. Understanding trigger points, group dynamics, and how to insert a calming presence into chaos.
Identifying signs of psychosis, suicidal ideation, and acute distress. Stabilisation techniques and when to call specialist services. Crisis management without clinical training.
Physical conditioning, defensive posture, and non-aggressive restraint principles. Not about fighting — about being physically prepared and remaining safe during volatile encounters.
Structured observation, pattern recognition, and intelligence-led community safety. How to document, report, and share information without compromising sources or endangering lives.
How to communicate in a crisis without escalating. Media awareness, public statements, and protecting community members from unwanted exposure. Silence is sometimes the right message.
Working with — and around — systems that fail communities. Police, social services, councils, schools. How to advocate for someone inside institutions not designed for them.
Leading a patrol, mentoring new Steppers, writing operational reports, and holding yourself to the PIA code. The final discipline. You don't just pass it — you live it.
FFCA sessions run monthly. Access is open to Bronze members and above. Each session covers 2–3 disciplines in practical, scenario-based training.
JOIN TO ACCESSBeyond the 12-Point Programme, FFCA runs structured monthly gatherings open to all investing members. These are not meetings — they are active training evenings built on scenario-based learning, peer review, and accountability.
Sessions are held at secure community venues across our operational zones. What happens inside stays inside. What you learn carries out with you.
BRONZE TIER ONWARDEach session focuses on 2–3 disciplines from the 12-Point Programme. Practical, scenario-based exercises run alongside classroom-style briefings.
Steppers review each other's field conduct from the previous month. No hierarchy beyond experience. Everyone is held to the same PIA-certified standard.
What's happening in your zone? Sessions include a structured intelligence share — patterns, concerns, individuals at risk. Operational, confidential, and purposeful.
Bronze members and above attend as observers and participants. You do not need to be a Stepper to be in the room. Witnessing it is part of understanding it.
The Safe Operations Squad is the deployment arm of Forever Family. Only certified Steppers — those who have completed the full 12-Point Programme — are cleared to operate with the SOS.
We respond to community safety threats, domestic crises, youth exploitation alerts, and G-Line referrals. Our response time target is under 4 hours for standard referrals. Under 1 hour for immediate.
Certified Steppers conduct regular patrols in identified hotspot areas. Visible, consistent, and purposeful. We are not vigilantes — we are a documented, trained presence that deters harm.
When a G-Line referral is received, an SOS team is dispatched within hours. Two minimum Steppers, trained in trauma-informed communication, make contact and assess the situation.
Based on community intelligence gathered through sessions and reports, SOS plans and executes targeted operations to disrupt, deter, or prevent harm. Details remain classified. Results are reported to Silver members and above.
The 12-Point Programme doesn't start until you do. Every certified Stepper started with a single decision. That decision begins with a membership, and a message.
