Education

Prevention is the best form of protection. We have developed a range of safety programmes to educate on fire safety, road safety and responsible citizenship.

By teaching children important lessons at an early age we hope they will eventually become safer adults. Children also take the safety messages home with them, teaching their parents about smoke alarms, fire and road safety.

We also work with adults with learning disabilities providing safety education to help to give them greater independence in their day to day lives.

The safety education programmes we are involved in are detailed below.
