Wandsworth children learn how to stay safe
Children that live in property to rent in the London borough of Wandsworth have been learning how to stay safe.
The Junior Citizen scheme started last Monday (March 7th) and will run for two weeks in total, providing Year 5 pupils with information on how to keep out of danger.
Those involved practice what to do in 12 different scenarios, such as being faced with live railway tracks or a burning building.
Councillor Angela Graham, chairman of Junior Citizen, said: "We can't protect our youngsters 24 hours a day, but here they get the opportunity to safely explore how they should react to dangerous situations."
The scheme has been running for 24 years and has helped over 30,000 youngsters to learn more about avoiding dangerous situations.
Last week, the CCTV network in Wandsworth, which helps to improve the safety of children and adults, was highly commended in the 2011 Government Business Awards.
