Fire safety for secondary school aged children

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 School

We have a range of education packages for secondary aged children and above.

These include –

Choices and Consequences - 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.

Water Safety - helps the learners make safe informed decisions by focusing on the dangers of open water, the consequences of risk taking and ‘Cold Water Shock’ as well how to use water safely. It also stresses what to do if someone (including yourself) is in trouble in the water.

 Mud and Sand Safety - stresses the dangers of sand and mud flats, especially if the tide cuts you off and what to do if does or is potentially going to happen.

 Grass/Wildfires – focuses on the risks to large grass and heathland area and those people and wildlife who use and live in them when fire occurs. Advice is given as to how the fires can be avoided in the first place.

 Bright Sparx – a bonfire and firework safety session concentrating on how to stay safe during the Bonfire Night period, the law related to fireworks and the dangers and consequences of firework misuse, particularly in relation to the individuals involved and wider community.

 

The sessions have been designed for particular risks at specific times of year, however there is flexibility too. Whilst at first glance it may not appear that the sessions are relevant to your school, please bear in mind the activities that students may get involved with outside of term time.

Several of the sessions allow for timings to be adjusted according to your circumstances and needs, such as if you need an assembly length session or a classroom based one
