2025 – W/C 19 May 2025
Overview: Crucial Crew is a nationwide event promoting personal safety for children in the top year of Primary School. Different organisations participate to each cover such topics as making a 999 call, water safety, road safety, internet safety, first aid, fire safety, etc. The aim is to provide a fun and stimulating learning environment for the children to:
- become more aware of personal safety
- learn how to react correctly to dangerous and threatening situations
- understand the role the emergency support services play and how and when to contact them
- be aware of their own actions and the safety of others
There are about 80 children for each morning and afternoon session divided into groups of about 10. Each scenario/activity session lasts 10-15 minutes.
The River Stour Trust to oversee the Water Safety scenario covering basic water safety as well as a practical task of how to throw a life ring. There will be a list of simple questions (and answers!) provided.
