Virtual Safety In Action

Welcome to our collection of  ‘Safety in Action’ educational resources. 

These materials are aimed at the year 6 children that are unable to attend our hands-on ‘Safety in Action’ events. 

We want to share important messages, to keep children safe as they move onto secondary school and greater independence.

Some of the ideas and materials can be adapted for children of other ages.

So have a look at the different topic areas, and encourage children to join in our virtual ‘Safety in Action’.


Domestic fires pose one of the greatest risks to children. Children playing with matches and lighters frequently start house fires. (Rospa 2019)

Safety in Action events promote Fire Safety by helping children understand how to act in an emergency situation to keep themselves, friends and members of the public safe.

The number of child pedestrian fatalities in the United Kingdom is high compared to other European countries. Children aged between 11 and 15 remain the most at risk.

Research shows that children below the age of 12 years find it difficult to judge speeds that a car is travelling towards them. This has implications for safe road crossing.

Safety in Action events promote Road Safety with the support of Sussex Police, Brighton & Hove Buses and Brighton & Hove City Council.
