    This week is the official launch of our latest roadworks safety scenario at our education centre Hazard Alley. The scenario developed in partnership with Ringway– the highway maintenance strategic service partner for Milton Keynes City Council.

    The new scenario gives visitors the opportunity to discover the potential dangers of roadworks: how to keep safe by understanding site hazards; and the importance of following site rules like designated pedestrian routes and safe crossing locations. It includes an interactive quiz and for a fully immersive experience visitors get to wear Personal Protective Equipment.

    The Roadworks Safety Scenario launches this month to join our education centre’s lifesaving learning programme including first aid, safe places to cross, shoplifting and bullying, fire safety, home safety, the choices and consequences of knife crime, in car, cycling and railway safety as well as water safety. The education centre is designed for primary school children and young people to learn how to keep themselves and others safe in daily life.

    Clive Rillstone, Ringway Regional Director said-

    “Our team are passionate about raising the positive profile of the highways industry, particularly the safety of both road users and site staff, and we were excited to have the opportunity to develop the scenario at Hazard Alley. We feel that our scenario makes a perfect addition to the aims of the Safety Centre with reference to road works and safe crossing.”

    Maya Joseph-Hussain CEO of the Safety Centre said

    “We’re thrilled to be launching our new innovative roadwork safety scenario that has been developed in partnership with our supporters Ringway. The scenario adds value to our pioneering safety education centre Hazard Alley, where children, young people and adults across the region have the opportunity to learn lifesaving safety education in a safe, immersive way”.

    With thousands of visitors per year visiting Hazard Alley, Ringway will continue to work with the team at the Safety Centre to ensure that this initiative is an effective way to understand site safety.

    Schools and uniformed groups can see this new scenario by booking to visit Hazard Alley here. Sessions start at £7.50 + VAT per student. Book your session here today.

    The Safety Centre charity is highlighting the dangers of winter weather as temperatures fall across the region. Following the tragic news earlier this week of four three young boys dying after falling through ice in Solihull, the charity is speaking about the daily dangers we face in colder weather.

    The safety education charity based in Milton Keynes, focuses on teaching children, young people and adults how to stay safe in daily life situations. This includes staying safe during the winter months. Since it opened in 1994 the Safety Centre has educated over 400,000 children across the region. Children, young people and adults are taught safety education at Hazard Alley, the charity’s immersive, engaging scenario-based education centre as well as out in the community in schools across the region.

    From being careful around bodies of water and not walking or skating on them, even when they appear to be frozen solid, to understanding it can take longer for vehicles to stop on icy roads there are lots of things to consider when the temperature drops.

    Sarah Surridge, Marketing and Communications Manager said:

    “The weather is beautiful at this time of year but also very unforgiving. It’s important that we take the time to think about the situations we may encounter and discuss the ways we can keep ourselves and our communities safe. Coming together for conversations about water safety particularly with children and young people, in the light of this week’s devastating news, can save a life. All bodies of water can be dangerous at any time of year but during the winter frozen water is particularly risky. We are all so sorry to hear of the loss of life this week and encourage parents and guardians to speak to children and young people about the dangers around bodies of water.”

    The Safety Centre, based in Milton Keynes is open for visitors from schools as well as delivering education sessions into schools across the region for students, teachers and parents. To find out more about the world’s first safety education charity visit www.safetycentre.co.uk, call 01908 263009 or email info@safetycentre.co.uk.

    There’s more information about water safety available here from our supporters The Parks Trust and Bucks Fire and Rescue.

    Halloween Safety – Celebrate The Spooky Season Safely

    There is no better way to end the month of October than by celebrating Halloween.

    Inspired by the upcoming spooky spectacle, we’re talking about Halloween Safety in what we are calling #BeSeenOnHalloween!

    Whether you are hoping to receive tricks or treats, we want to give you some great tips for making sure you can celebrate Halloween safely.

    Carving Pumpkins

    October marks the season for carving pumpkins into spooky faces or works of art. It’s a truly messy activity full of fun that can be enjoyed by everyone. We certainly enjoy it here at The Safety Centre. However, it is important to make sure that we stay safe whilst we are doing this.

    Make sure you when you are carving you:

    • Are in an area that is well lit. You need to be able to see everything clearly, especially if you are planning to use a knife to do all of the carving.
    • Make sure all of your tools, pumpkin and hands are kept dry. Carving pumpkins is a messy business and can make surfaces slippery, increasing the risk of you cutting or injuring yourself.
    • Keep sharp objects out of reach and out of sight of children. If you are allowing them the carve the pumpkin, make sure you supervise them at all times.
    • Consider using a pumpkin carving kit. These kits are designed to be used to carve pumpkins and are much easier to use than sharp knives.

    Treat Candles With Care

    Candles are popular when celebrating Halloween, often being used in pumpkins to give them a spooky glow.

    However, it is important to remember that candles can be dangerous, especially when left unattended. The flickering flame can get into all kinds of mischief, leading to the possibility of fires starting, or serious burns like the ones experienced by Claudia Winkleman’s daughter.

    If you are planning on using candles, please make sure you:

    • Put the flame out before leaving the room.
    • Never leave them within reach of small children or animals. A small bump is all it takes to lead to a nasty accident occurring, especially since many costumes are considered toys and aren’t flame retardant.
    • Keep candles away from curtains or decorations. Make sure you do the same for any decorations you have outside as a gust of wind can make a small flame much bigger.
    • Consider using LED candles as a great alternative that can be left unattended. However, please still make sure that these are out of reach and sight of children and animals.

    Going Out Trick Or Treating

    One of the best parts about Halloween is the large amount of sweets you get from trick or treating!

    However, let’s not forget that the majority of trick or treating is done when it is dark. A dark night may be a great time for Halloween, but not for being seen. At The Safety Centre, we always say that it is not easy to see everyone when it gets darker, especially if they are wearing dark clothes. It is important to remember that drivers will still be using the roads and may not be able to see you, which can be dangerous. #BeSeenOnHalloween!

    To avoid any accidents, make sure you either wear or have something bright on you to make it easier for them to spot you, such as a reflective coat, armband or flashing lights.

    If you are planning to let your children go out with their friends without you, just remember to tell them to:

    • Stick to routes that are familiar to them.
    • Tell you:

    Where they are going

    Who they are going with

    What time they will be back

    If these change at any point during the night, make sure you ask them to update you as soon as they can.

    Funded Early Intervention Knife Crime Sessions To Be Delivered To School Children In Buckinghamshire

    We are delighted to announce that The Safety Centre has received funding to deliver Early Intervention Knife Crime outreach education sessions to Year 5 and 6 children in schools across Buckinghamshire!

    The funding will help our brilliant education team to reach out to schools across Buckinghamshire and provide children with essential safety education around the complex topic of knife crime.

    Early Intervention Knife Crime Awareness

    Tragically, recent news has highlighted the need for children to receive specialist education around the challenging topic of knife crime. The choice to carry a knife has life changing consequences that need to be highlighted, explored and explained in an age appropriate, sensitive way. Out highly qualified education team creates safe spaces for open conversations about a topic that can be very difficult to talk about.

    Our session, which has been delivered across schools has received high praise for the way it addresses such a sensitive subject. Children are empowered by the session, giving them the confidence to make safe, positive decisions. They also feel reassured, knowing they have a support network they can reach out to if they need help.

    Our mission at The Safety Centre Charity is for all children, young people and adults to have access to interactive, immersive and memorable safety education and training, enabling safe and flourishing communities. We are delighted that we are able to extend our reach further into Buckinghamshire through the help of this funding.

    Sarah Surridge, Marketing Manager at the Safety Centre said

    ‘We’re thrilled to have received funding from The Heart of Bucks Community Foundation, enabling our education team to deliver life-saving early intervention knife crime education across Buckinghamshire. These sessions help young people make safe choices for themselves, their families and the communities they are living and growing up in. Having safe spaces to talk about these life changing decisions is essential as we support our communities to thrive through essential life-saving education.’

    Funding Received From Heart Of Bucks

    We are very grateful for the incredible support given by the Heart of Bucks Community Foundation.

    The Heart of Bucks Community Foundation ensures their funds support individuals and organisations who will positively impact those in need across its county. Since it began in 2000, it has awarded over £10 million pounds to local causes.

    Henry Allmand, CEO of the Heart Of Bucks Community Foundation said

    ‘We are delighted to fund the Safety Centre and the important work they are doing. The Knife Crime Early Intervention Sessions will protect our communities now and in the future. Together with Buckinghamshire Council, we are committed to providing vital funding towards community safety projects such as this, transforming Buckinghamshire for the better.’

    Family Tours At The Safety Centre

    Just like our school visits, you will be guided around each of our safety scenarios by one of our friendly volunteer guides. You will learn about the risks and potential dangers we face in every day life and the things you can do to keep yourself and your friends, family and community safe.

    From understanding the importance of smoke detectors and keeping your personal information safe to learning how to cross the road safely and how fast a train can travel, there will be lots for you to discover.

    Children will also get the incredible opportunity to make a practise 999. During this call they will need to remember what emergency service their require, where the accident has taken place and what has happened. An amazing skill that could save a life in a real emergency.

    Is there any better place to visit during half term?

    Cycle To School Safely This Week By Checking Out Our Top Tips!

    Cycle to School week is the perfect time to get out your bike and try a new way of getting to school or work. We know that travelling by bike is a great way to be healthy and reduce the number of cars on our roads, helping to reduce the impact we have on global warming.

    However, it can be very daunting for us to make the step to do this, especially if we are close to busy roads. In Milton Keynes, we are fortunate enough to have redways that we can use when we are cycling, but it is important to recognise that not every place has them and they might not be near where we need to travel.

    With this in mind you may feel that it is easier to use the car instead, but don’t let this stop you from making a healthier choice. Our top tips below are here to help empower you with the knowledge to feel confident to cycle safely.

    Safety Centre’s Top Tips For Cycling Safely

    Do A Bike Safety Check

    How do we know our bikes are safe for us to ride? It might not seem like much, but doing these simple checks beforehand ensures that you are staying safe, even before your journey has started.

    1. How are my tyres? Check each tyre for for any punctures, gashes or debris that might be stuck in them. If this all seems ok check your tyre pressure.
    2. How are my brakes? Check your brake pads, have they worn away?
    3. How are my wheels? What happens to your wheels if you spin them? Are they ok or can you see them sticking?

    For a more in-depth cycle safety check, Cyclescheme have a useful breakdown of what to look for. The best part is it only takes 2 minutes.

    Wear The Right Cycle Clothing

    A great fitting cycle helmet and bright clothing go hand in hand with cycling.

    As we say at The Safety Centre, our head contains a very important brain, so we need to protect it. Wearing a cycle helmet does this, so it is essential that we have one. It is also important that we wear bright clothing. Staying bright means we can stay being seen and that is important when we are out and about on the roads, especially as we are approaching winter when the days start to get darker quicker.

    Plan Your Route!

    It doesn’t matter if you are walking, cycling or using a scooter to get to school, planning your route is an essential step in ensuring you choose the safest route. Take a look at the redways (if you have them) that are closest to you and any road crossings that you might be able to use.

    Get Around MK have a route planner that is really useful. As well as showing you how to get to your destination on a map, they also have a break down of directions that you can use to help identify the specific road names. They also have a map of all the redways in the area.

    Remember, it never hurts to plan more than one route just in case your usual route is blocked off.

    Know Your Hand Signals!

    It is really important to communicate with other road users when you are out and about on your bike. You may have seen many cyclists stretch out their arms to the side to indicate to other that they are turning. However, there are many other signals out there to let other vehicles know if you are slowing down or stopping.

    Road Cycling UK have a handy guide that you can use.

    Have Some Bikeability Training

    If you are still a little nervous, you can always opt for some bikeability training. This can help to build your skills, knowledge and confidence on roads when you are out and about on your bicycle. They have a variety of courses you can choose, from the level 1 basics to the more advanced cycle skills of level 3.

    Interested In Finding Out More Information?

    At The Safety Centre, we know the value of safety education and cover many topics, including cycle safety. If you would like to find out more information about our amazing tours, in-school classroom sessions or first aid training, please get in touch with us on 01908 263009 or bookings@safetycentre.co.uk.

    Volunteers Treated To Wonderful Thank You Lunch For Teaching Life-Saving Learning At Safety Centre

    Volunteers for the Safety Centre were celebrated today for their dedication to teaching life-saving learning. Throughout the year, children, young people and adults have benefitted from their guidance and knowledge. They always leave our interactive centre educated, inspired and full of excitement, and that is all because of our incredible volunteers.

    Our volunteers are at the heart of our work, as the world’s first and the regions leading safety education charity. Volunteers lead tours around our education centre Hazard Alley, which is visited every year by thousands of children, young people and adults from far and wide.

    This last academic year alone, our guides volunteered over 2600 hours to teach life-saving skills and knowledge – a truly fantastic number for our first year back since COVID19.

    We couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate this and our volunteers than by throwing a huge Thank You lunch, filled with tasty treats and fun party games. It was a great day with the same buzz of excitement we hear from everyone who visits our fantastic centre.

    Meet Anthony!

    Here at The Safety Centre we talk a lot about how amazing our volunteers are, so it is only fitting that we introduce you to one – Say hello to Anthony, who has been part of The Safety Centre family for over 8 years.

    Safety Centre Hazard Alley Volunteering

    He is a Milton Keynes resident who generously and wholeheartedly shares his time and wealth of experience with our visitors.

    In 2014 Anthony’s wife, Frances, mentioned a poster she’d seen about safety for children and the rest as they say, is history. Anthony has volunteered at the Safety Centre for 8 years, and in the past year alone has volunteered over 150 hours of his time, teaching children, young people and adults life saving learning.

    Anthony’s career as a chartered civil engineer included spending years in Saudi Arabia in challenging desert conditions. Back home, he was responsible for the design and construction of a section of the Piccadilly Line to Heathrow. Then came along the EU requirement that UK road bridges must be strong enough to carry 44 tonne lorries. Anthony was in charge of the assessment/strengthening of bridges over the railway for Transport for London and LU. He has also given presentations at international conferences.

    Favourite Scenario

    Anthony’s favourite scenario is the Coop, where we talk about core PSHE topics of living in the wider world. This scenario focuses on bullying, shoplifting and who you can turn to for help if you need it.

    Anthony said

    ‘If the children can remember one or two incidents and what to do, that’s great. Some children have never seen a phone box before and they’re amazed there’s a real person at the end of the phone. The centre is always moving with the times and developing to meet changing safety needs within our communities, like the development of the new knife crime scenario.’

    In his spare time Anthony enjoys playing guitar with his church music group. He also enjoys sailing, gliding and karate. With lots of hobbies and experiences Anthony is always learning – from playing the violin, to scuba diving and flying and training young pilots there’s never a dull moment. He is also very dedicated to his two grandsons, who are his and Frances’s top priority.

    So, what is Anthony’s advice to anyone thinking about volunteering?

    I, as a volunteer, appreciate the training and encouragement the staff provide. Not all organisations offer the same level of support.

    Come and have a taster and see what you think.  Its not for everyone but if you like it you’ll be hooked.

    Community Action MK have Emergency First Aid Training at Safety Centre, Hazard Alley

    First aid training is essential for all businesses, organisations and education providers to help manage potential risks and safeguarding people. Knowing how to perform just one first aid technique can make a huge difference when it comes to saving a person’s life.

    At The Safety Centre,  we educate children, young people and adults so that they have the knowledge and skills to empower them to make safer choices. This week, we had the pleasure of teaching Community Action MK all of the necessary skills and knowledge required for emergency first aid situations.

    Under the guidance of Carol, one of our incredible trainers, the team practised cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and using an AED on our laerdal resuscitation mannequins. They then moved on to practising the recovery position and dressing open wounds, using each other as casualties. With a hint of humour and a lots of great advice, the day was filled with engaged attendees who left the centre equipped with the necessary skills to help support their colleagues.

    Josan Race, Community Development Manager from Community Action MK said

    The centre is a lovely venue with lots of space. The trainer is fantastic and the parking is great!

    Company Hires Safety Centre For Scent Detection Training

    The Safety Centre welcomed a different kind of visitor last night when PotterPaws hired the centre to run one of their scent detection trials.

    Our immersive centre provided a great space for these highly intelligent dogs to practise their incredible sniffing skills in a realistic and safe environment. Whilst scents were being hidden all around our life-like scenarios, owners and their furry companions were able to relax in our briefing room, waiting for the moment they would be called to find the hidden scent. There was also the option for their four legged friends to be outside to spend some quality time on the grass by our centre.

    This type of training provides owners and their dogs with happy and positive emotions. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that there were plenty of wagging tails full of anticipation and excitement….from the dogs, of course.

    Overall, the evening was a huge success with everyone leaving satisfied, including staff 🙂

    We pride ourselves on offering opportunities for interactive education experiences for all. When it comes to the centre, the possibilities are endless and are only limited by your imagination.

    Why not get in touch and see what we could do for you?

    The Safety Centre Charity Is Here For Your Life Saving Learning

    The Safety Centre Charity was thrilled to educate over 14,000 children, young people and adults with life-saving learning since reopening after the pandemic. The charity based in Kiln Farm, Milton Keynes is the regions leading safety education charity. The Safety Centre education team are ready and excited to welcome students and visitors to their education centre Hazard Alley for the next academic year!

    New Early Intervention Knife Crime Education Programme & Scenario

    Last year the Safety Centre launched their new choices and consequences education scenario. This new scenario has children focus on their choices and the consequences of these choices in relation to littering, graffiti and knife crime, funded by Safer MK and MK Development Partnership. This alongside the brand new Choices and Consequences: Early Knife Crime Intervention classroom session, available for primary school children in year five and six, has been a really well received addition to our already life-saving curriculum.

    We encourage schools to book our sessions early, so speak to our education team on 01908 263009 to book your year five and six students in school sessions for next academic year.

    Fantastic End Of Year Results!

    Last academic year the Safety Centre Charity taught over 14,000 children, young people and adults life-saving education. This has either been through tours at our education centre, sessions in schools as part of our outreach programme or first aid and fire marshal training, which is available for both schools and companies to book.

    Amy Lawrence, Bookings and Marketing Assistant at the Safety Centre Charity said

    ‘We believe that education empowers people to make safer choices and could not be happier with the way this first year back has gone. We cannot wait to see what the next year will bring.’

    To find out more about visiting Hazard Alley, having a school outreach session, or training your employees with us head to our website for further details and how to book.

    Incredible Volunteers!

    As always, our incredible guides are at the heart of our work at Hazard Alley, educating young people about staying safe in everyday situations. The amazing team dedicated over 2,600 hours last year to teaching life-saving education.

    The Safety Centre is always looking for more volunteers to join their amazing team! If you have 2.5 hours free in your week, why not volunteer with us and save a child’s life? Full training given and travel expenses paid. Contact us on 01908 263009 or email volunteerguides@safetycentre.co.uk to find out more. We would love to hear from you!

    There was plenty of excitement to be had last week as families from refugee and newly arrived communities visited our interactive education centre, Hazard Alley.

    The families were welcomed by the friendly faces of our incredible volunteers. They, with the help of some handy translations, provided a ‘Hazard Alley’ experience suitable for all.

    The translated signs focussed on the key safety messages we cover in each scenario, such as the dangers of open water and how to cross the road safely. Families were able to experience our realistic scenarios and gain essential safety knowledge, which will help them as they continue to settle into new communities.

    At the Safety Centre, we know the value of safety education. It instils confidence and empowers people to think about making safer choices, enabling safer communities to flourish. That is what makes our work so important and why we continue to strive to reach more people.

    Jodie Connolly, Education and Development Officer at the Safety Centre Charity said

    “It is an extremely proud moment for the Safety Centre to be welcoming refugee and newly arrived families in for such vital safety education. The realistic, visual, and interactive features of Hazard Alley provide a memorable opportunity for learning like no other. It is just brilliant to see the centre being used for such a great purpose.”

    We thank the Milton Keynes Community Foundation for their support with funding this incredible project and hope to continue providing this essential service to all who need it.

    Safety Centre Volunteers- Volunteers Week 2022- Power Of Youth Day

    This week is Volunteers Week and we’ve been speaking to some of our brilliant volunteers about how they got involved with the Safety Centre and what they enjoy about volunteering with us. Today is the Power Of Youth Day and we’ve had a chat with our newest volunteer 19 year old Chloë.

    Chloë’s Story

    Chloë started volunteering with the Safety Centre Charity in March this year, and has very recently qualified as a guide with us. With her full training now completed, Chloë takes school age children between year 2 and 6 around the centre’s 12 safety scenarios. When student’s visit our immersive learning centre Hazard Alley they learn about keeping safe in everyday situations, such as road safety, fire safety and water safety. Walking children through these scenarios Chloë teaches them how to stay safe, lessons they’ll hopefully remember for life.

    Plans For The Future

    Chloë is keen to have a career in early years education and is starting a three year Early Childhood Studies degree with the Open University in September this year. She previously started a course in Primary Education last academic year but decided to make a change as it wasn’t for her. Her volunteering role here at the Safety Centre will help her develop essential skills outside of the classroom.

    Chloë said:

    The children are much more animated here than when they’re sat in a classroom, its great to see a different side to them. You get to see more of their personalities and have fun whilst learning. I’ve always wanted to work with children and I’m hoping this will help me develop my CV and experience.

    There’s a real element of learning through play when children come here, for example with the fire scenario. They see real smoke and have to run out and call for help at the phone box. I came here when I was younger and really enjoyed it. When I saw an advert for volunteers on the Do It website I thought, I’ll give it a go and its great. I’m one of the Green Shirts now (what the volunteers call themselves) and I love it! It’s very surreal to be showing groups around but I love using my own stories to bring situations to life. This opportunity has given me a much broader view of education.

    Favourite Scenario

    My favourite scenarios have to be the lake and house four said Chloe. There’s so much to talk about and see. It really opens up discussions with the children. They have really vivid imaginations and it gives you a different perspective on situations. They’re the most interesting people. Everyone calls me crazy for volunteering but I’m buzzing I love it.

    Advice For Anyone Thinking of Volunteering With The Safety Centre?

    Just do it and get stuck in. Its great, I’m already excited for the next time I come in! It’s a really flexible volunteering opportunity and it works around my commitments.

    Safety Centre Volunteers- Volunteers Week 2022

    This week is Volunteers Week and we’ve been speaking to some of our brilliant volunteers about how they got involved with the Safety Centre and what they enjoy about volunteering with us.

    Iain’s Story

    Iain has been a volunteer at the Safety Centre Charity for five years. Originally from Glasgow, Iain is now retired and lives in Milton Keynes with his wife. Following a career in electronics Iain now enjoys working with his community in Wolverton, woodwork and running when he’s not leading tours at the Safety Centre. Every week during term time we welcome school children to our immersive learning centre Hazard Alley, where Iain leads tours of children around our 12 safety scenarios. Here volunteers talk about the dangers of everyday situations and how we can keep ourselves safe. We asked Iain how he got involved with volunteering at the Safety Centre and he said:

    I’d not long retired when I saw a stand outside of Tesco which said “Help Save Children”. At first I didn’t think it was for me but then I thought, no I’ve been looking for something to do, I’ll see what it’s all about. I’ve never looked back. I love the tours, they’re great fun. They keep me stimulated and get me out of the house. It’s been really good for my mental agility trying to remember students’ names and scenarios. Knowing that my work here helps kids to remember that, if nothing else, when they’re in trouble they need to find someone to help, is so important to me. As well as teaching children about the importance of crossing the road safely, as you only get one chance to do it right. It’s always fun with the kids, they keep you on your toes.

    Best Safety Scenario

    We asked Iain what his favourite safety scenario was and he said

    Road safety is my favourite, because every year over 3,000 people are hurt or die crossing the road. Cars and road crossing can be very dangerous when things go wrong. Teaching children about these dangers is so important and giving them the tools to make decisions safely.

    Iain said to anyone thinking about joining the volunteer team at the Safety Centre:

    Do it. Its wonderful. It’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life. It means so much to me. You can’t think of anything great on your own but when you’re part of a team things happen. Sharing real stories helps people learn and that’s what we do here.

    You can find out more information about volunteering with us here. If you’d like to volunteer with us please get in touch by calling us on 01908 263009.
