Teaching children to stay safe every day

These ‘stay safe’ days allow us to work with young people in an interesting and engaging environment and to get our safety messages across in a fun and exciting way.”

“A lot is parents responsibility,plus granparents, elder siblings. Things like burn, hot. Teaching a child to cross the road, cycling proficiency, to swim. Once these have been mastered then comes the pitfalls. The danger of these activities. Children should be allowed some free reign, falling off a bike, climbing a tree, bit of difficulty in water. It is all a learning curve. They will benefit from it later in life.”
