Introduction to Safety Scene for Primary Schools

Safety Scene is an interactive hands-on experience for children. Aimed at children, teachers, specialist staff, and classroom assistants studying key stage 1 Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE).

Safety Scene covers all aspects of safety in the curriculum and has been designed as an interactive experience for children and to assist staff in reaching their attainment targets.

“Pupils should be able to keep themselves safe in the home, at school, while travelling, at work, in play, in sport and in leisure. Safety education helps them to recognise potential risks.”

Learning outcomes: During their two-hour session the children will learn:

• What to do in case of a fire
• How to call the emergency services
• What dangerous substances to look out for in the home
• What dangerous hazards to look out for in the home
• Awareness of strangers and personal safety
• Awareness of medicines and how medicines should only by taken with an adult present
• Road safety
• And more depending on the local message that the promoter & safety agencies that are present, wishes to get across during the event

The project’s aim is for the children to take away important messages, which will contribute to their future safety and equip them to deal with potentially dangerous situations and emergencies.
