At secondary level we have several different schemes aimed at further developing the ideas and concepts discussed during the Year 6 ChildSafe session as well as exploring how to spot fire hazards and fire safety in the home
Secondary
- TeenSafe
TeenSafe is our KS3 safety educational package primarily aimed at Year 7 students, though this can be flexible depending upon the school’s circumstances. It consists of two key modules:
- Choices and consequences – focusing on the effects of anti-social behaviour
- Water safety – focussing on the dangers of ‘cold water shock’ and tombstoning
Each module is approximately 45 minutes in length and has been developed with schools’ PSHE days in mind. Whilst at first glance it may not appear that the modules are relevant to your school, please bear in mind the activities that students may get involved with outside term time. For more information about the modules’ content and how to book a visit, please contact us [opens in a new tab].
- Heat of the Moment - Key Stage 3
This package encourages young people to understand the risks and potential consequences associated with making hoax calls and deliberate fire setting for themselves, their families and the communities they live in.
This lesson is delivered by our professional community fire safety advocates and is suitable for Year 7 or Year 8 students; complementing PSHE and citizenship curriculum areas. It is usually delivered in schools that request the input or where there are problems with anti-social behaviour, hoax calls or deliberate fire-setting in a particular area. The programme is also available to other organisations that work with young people where it is felt it would be beneficial.
It covers:
- Understanding of the crime of arson, including knowledge of how it is dealt with by the judicial system.
- Consideration of the consequences of arson
- Recognising why people may commit arson, including peer pressure
- How to make a 999 call properly
- Understanding the cost and legal implications of making hoax calls
- Developing strategies to cope with peer pressure to make hoax calls or set deliberate fires
