Project: Safety in Action
Funding: £11,000 from cross-agency funding
Aim: To teach schoolchildren to live an independent life and reduce fear of crime.
More than 800 primary school pupils in Kent have taken part in a scheme to educate them about what to do if they witness a crime.
Safety in Action is a multi-agency initiative organised by, among others, Medway Council, Kent Police, British Red Cross, Kent Fire and Rescue Service, British Transport Police and the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (Ceop).
Each agency ran a workshop to educate children on responsible citizenship, develop their confidence and competence in personal safety skills, and prepare them for a more independent life.
