Home educated children are being invited to take part in the highly successful Safety in Action during 2024.
The aim of this project is to teach children how to deal with, or avoid, life threatening situations.
East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service want to make sure that home educated children, aged around 10-11 years old, don’t get overlooked when it comes to these free Safety in Action events.
The emphasis during these events is learning lifesaving skills through participation – even if children make mistakes along the way, children will actively participate and learn how to deal with dangerous situations in a safe and controlled environment.
East Sussex Fire and Rescue, working alongside other emergency services and other agencies create simulated scenarios to allow children to think about safe responses to a variety of different situations.
Each child taking part will receive a participation certificate and a safety activity book.
This is a free event.
