Teaching children about safety

Teaching children in year 6 (ages 10 or 11) about how to keep safe in everyday life

Junior Citizen has been running since 1991 and is offered free to every year 6 state school pupil. Every year about 4,500 children visit Junior Citizen.

During their two hour visit the children experience 7 different safety scenarios and each child gets the chance to practice making a 999 telephone call.. Each of the scenarios are run by staff from the various agencies involved with the Junior CitizenTrust

 The 2 hours are interactive with the children making the decisions and learning from their mistakes with real to life situations. Each child receives a free workbook to allow the learning to continue back in school.

The sessions are provided free of charge by the Junior Citizens Trust
