Stay Safe in Birmingham
|
|
As a result a “Stay Safe” package of resources has been produced to be presented in PSHE lessons. It has also been possible to design a “Stay Safe” conference targeting young people in year 9, 10 and 11. It is envisaged that the conferences will run during collapsed timetable days and will involve a variety of workshops delivered free of charge by professionals involved in the community safety arena. Workshops will run for approximately one hour and the school can choose from a range of workshops which best meets the needs of young people attending their school or living in a particular area of the city. Workshops available include: |
Team Challenge: an opportunity for young people to work as a team and understand the importance of co-operation and communication.
Your Choice on the Road: West Midlands Fire Service deliver a hard hitting message in regards to the consequence of stealing motor vehicles and driving them in a dangerous manner.
