On January 31, 2026, the Police and Crime Commissioner announced new funding for a film created by young people to help stop sexual harassment in Fleet, Hampshire. The project will create a video that shows teenagers why harassment is wrong and how they can safely challenge it when they see it happening in public.
Donna Jones, the Police and Crime Commissioner for Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, has provided PCC funding for the project to ensure that young people learn about respect from their own peers. The film will be written, directed and performed by young people to make the message feel more relatable for students in the local area.
Local schools, including Calthorpe Park School and Court Moor School, are expected to be among the first to show the film to their pupils. The youth service Fleet Phoenix will also use the video to help support and educate young people who visit their community hubs.
The initiative aligns with the PCC’s wider Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) work and with the national Crown Prosecution Service VAWG Strategy 2025–2030, which focuses on changing behaviour before problems start. Production is expected to take place in spring 2026, with the film available for teachers to use in PSHE lessons by September 2026.
