Our year 6 pupils visited Heatham House  for their Junior Citizenship Scheme day. The citizen days are an opportunity for pupils to learn how to deal with different types of dangers, as well as get to know their local police officers and firefighters. They learn top safety tips first hand.The programme involves interactive sessions with different organisations, which let the children ask questions and play out scenarios they could realistically come into contact with. The children were given the opportunity to telephone emergency services to report a fire. They discussed safe routes in the event of a fire and the importance of fire alarms.They carried out basic first aid using DRABC and called an ambulance. Other scenarios included road safety, rail ​safety and travel awareness
