Safety Scene working with promoters throughout the UK. Providing a stimulating environment and activities for children and young people to learn about personal safety.
CSEC project manager John Vallender, said: “Unintentional injuries cut short and affect the lives of far too many of our children.
“CSEC passionately believes that as they grow up, children should have opportunities to learn valuable skills to enable them to develop a confidence in risk management that will benefit them throughout life.â€
“We hope that organisations which affirm our mission will join the coalition so we can share knowledge and promote the expansion of high-quality practical safety education, and ultimately reduce the number of children who are seriously affected by unintentional injuries.â€
CSEC objectives To define, audit, develop, manage, promote and support ‘high quality practical safety education’ in England. In order to achieve these, member organisations will work together to:
Identify common and avoidable injuries to children and young people
Identify activities where practical safety education could be improved, extended or introduced
Provide children with opportunities to develop risk competence appropriate to their age and developmental stage, which is transferable to all aspects of their lives
Enable children and young people to have the confidence put their risk competence into practice
CSEC Resource links include:
· Unintended Injury · Management of Risk · Safety Education · Safeguarding · Road and Transport Safety · Drowning · Poisoning · Burns and Scalds · Trips and Falls
Natural England’s purpose is to protect and improve England’s natural environment and encourage people to enjoy and get involved in their surroundings.
Our broad remit means that our reach extends across the country. We work with people such as farmers, town and country planners, researchers and scientists, and the general public on a range of schemes and initiatives.
Put simply, our aim is to create a better natural environment that covers all of our urban, country and coastal landscapes, along with all of the animals, plants and other organisms that live with us.
If you are a parent or teacher looking for places to visit in the UK Natural England’s website has a good search facility where you can refine and select the type of place that you would like your children to get to know and understand better.
