    Stuart Lawrence Speaks At The Safety Centre About Empowering Children & Young People With Lifesaving Knife Crime Education

    Today we were thrilled to welcome Dr Stuart Lawrence, the younger brother of Stephen Lawrence, to our centre today. He spoke about the vital importance of promoting early intervention knife crime education across the region and beyond through the Safety Centre Charity, the region’s leading and the world’s first safety education charity. Stuart shared his story, experiences and messages of hope and tolerance. We were also joined by Assistant Chief Constable Katy Barrow-Grint from Thames Valley police talking about knife crime and how Thames Valley police is preparing for the Knife Angel coming to Milton Keynes this December.

    The Importance of Knife Crime Safety Education

    We were excited to invite Dr Lawrence to talk with community leaders from across the region about the vital importance of early intervention knife crime education. Our role to support the development of flourishing communities within our region and beyond starts by responding to emerging safety trends. Unfortunately, knife crime is now an issue that children and young people need to be able to understand from an early age. This is why we’ve developed our early intervention knife crime safety education initiative in schools and at our education centre Hazard Alley. The programme talks about the choices young people have and the impact of these choices. Our education specialists create safe spaces for life saving conversations and education, in a meaningful, sensitive, age-appropriate way.

    Dr Lawrence said:

    “Early intervention is so important, at the end of the day the only person you can control is you and you need to have the tools to make safe choices. Education can be the most powerful tool in the world and the earlier we can give people the tools to be safe, the more it helps. We need to explain to young people that time is precious, and life is precious. One fifth of knife crime is committed by 10-17 year olds and there’s a lot more we can do early on to explain to children the importance of life and that there’s always an amicable way of solving things.”

    Assistant Chief Constable from Thames Valley Police Katy Barrow-Grint said:

    “Seven out of the eleven murders in Thames Valley in the last year have come about because of a knife. I’m sure you’ll agree with me enough is enough. The preservation of life and working to address root causes and helping to save lives from being lost to violence but the wider impact in our communities and offenders themselves must be integral to everything we do as a partnership.”

    Maya, Chief Executive of the Safety Centre said:

    “We’re delighted to be joined by Dr Stuart Lawrence to talk about his experiences and the vital role the Safety Centre plays in educating children and young people through our early knife crime intervention programme. This education initiative can save lives through creating safe spaces for impactful immersive learning and vital conversations about the consequences of being involved in knife crime. These conversations and sessions are potentially lifesaving and I’m proud to be leading a team of education specialists delivering pioneering safety education across our region.”

    Have Firework Safety In Mind This Bonfire Night Weekend!

    Fireworks are fantastic to watch. The bright colours that light up the dark sky make it a truly wonderful spectacle.

    While it is safer to go to displays that have been officially organised, as these have all the safety measure put in place, we can understand the appeal of wanting your own personal firework display at home. However, with all the fun and excitement taking place we don’t always think about whether we are being or staying safe. That is why this weekend we want you to keep firework safety in mind.

    Whether you are building a bonfire or getting ready to host your own firework display, we have some great top tips to help make sure you are able to #celebratesafely

    Remember, Remember Your Firework Safety 101

    Bonfires and fireworks can be dangerous, especially when they are not handled with care. Before setting up your display ask yourself:

    Where You Are Planning To Set Up?

    Take a look at the area you are considering to use. Are there any nearby fences, sheds or hedges that could be caught by the flames of a bonfire or a misdirected firework? Is the space large enough so that people watching and animals are out of harms way? Is there an area where you can keep water should you need it at any point during the night? Will the clothes you will be wearing be loose fitting?

    Asking yourself these questions will make you aware of any potential fire hazards or accidents that could occur. The last thing you want to do on a joyous Bonfire Night is call out the fire service or take a trip to A&E.

    Will You Be Using Sparklers?

    Sparklers are a great way for children to get involved with the celebrations. The bright spark can almost make it appear as though you are creating art when you move it through the air. At the same time however, they come with their own risks, which we always need to have in mind. They might not appear to, but sparklers can get very hot, which can cause serious burns when they are not handled with properly.

    Make sure to supervise children at all times and keep a bucket of water nearby so that children can put their sparkler in once they are finished with it. It is also very important that sparklers are never given to children under the age of 5.

    Fireworks Safety Expert or Newbie

    Whether you have handled fireworks for many years or are doing it for the first time, it is important to make sure you read the instructions that come with them. Each type of firework will come with their own instructions so read them all as they could be different. Make sure you know what the safe distance to light a firework is and never return to a firework once lit, even if it is not working. It is also important to remember that fireworks need to be directed away from spectators and while you may already know this, you must make sure the area you are using gives you the space to do this.

    If you are having a bonfire, make sure there is one person always looking after it. Just like a lit candle, you must never leave it unattended. It is also important you don’t use things like paraffin or petrol to start the fire as they are very dangerous and highly flammable.  Fires created with these can get out of hand and spread very quickly as they are powerful accelerants.

    What Should You Do Afterwards?

    Once all the celebrations have finished, you will then need to know how to dispose of your fireworks and how to out put out your bonfire.

    You may think that it is fine to put fireworks in the bin once they have been used. However, it is important to remember that fireworks may still be hot and could cause a fire. Make sure at the end of the night all fireworks, including those that didn’t work are cooled in water for a couple of hours before you bag them up and put them in the bin.

    If you are having a bonfire, make sure you put it out completely by pouring cold water all over it. Never leave it to go out by itself unattended.

    Whatever you are planning on doing this weekend, we hope you all celebrate safely.

    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.

    Family Tours This October Half Term!

    We’re delighted to share that we will be running family tours this October half term!

    Tours will take place on Monday 24th, Wednesday 26th and Thursday 27th October.

    We are very excited to be opening our doors this October half term for our family tours! Families to visit our interactive education centre and experience our famous Hazard Alley Tour.

    At the Safety Centre, we are all about empowering people through the life-saving safety skills and knowledge we share on our tours.

    October half term is sure to be a treat now that you can book your visit to Safety Centre, Hazard Alley!

    *All of our tours have now been fully booked* We look forward to welcoming everyone next week.

    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.

    Welcome To A New Academic Year, Let’s Talk About Safety Education! 

    Each new academic year brings with it an excellent opportunity to open up conversations about safety with children. Crossing roads, online safety, the dangers of open water and fires are just some of the potential risks children need to be aware of.  However, it is equally important for them to know what to do if they are in challenging situations and who they can turn to.

    Whether you have a topic relating to safety, want to cover essential parts of your PSHE curriculum, or feel your students would benefit overall, we are the place to visit.

    As seen in the summer edition of the School Travel Organiser, our amazing immersive education centre centre covers 11 vital safety topics. These topics equip your pupils with the knowledge to empower them to make safer choices as they venture out into the world around them.

    Book Your Visit

    As a Learning Outside the Classroom Quality Badge holder, we not only have quality education outside the classroom but we also help to reduce your paperwork, making it easier to take your pupils off-site. Therefore, visiting us will not only make covering essential safety and PSHE topics easier,  it will also be a fun and educational experience for all. The best part is, children get to experience this learning in a realistic and immersive environment.

    Schools can visit us for half a day or take their learning to a whole new level by choosing a whole day. These visits have an additional online safety classroom session.

    Tours are lead by our dedicated volunteer tour guides who teach children the life-saving education we are known for. Our online safety sessions are age appropriate and taught in our new classroom by a member of our education team.

    As the world’s first and region’s leading safety education charity there’s nowhere better for your next trip!

    All content is created and taught by our education team so all you have to do is book a date to visit us. You can do this by clicking here and filling out one of our booking forms.

    We teach safety education so you don’t have to.

    Back To School Safety

    We’re talking about back to school safety this week, as children and families prepare to go back to school.

    Whether you are starting somewhere new or returning for another year, our top safety tips and advice are there to help support you as you kick start the new academic year.

    Walking To School

    Our roads may be safer than they were a few years ago, but it doesn’t change how important it is to learn about road safety, especially when we are walking to school for the first time by ourselves.

    The latest changes to the Highway Code make pedestrians a priority at crossings, including junctions, before cyclists, horse riders and cars. However, as we always say at the Safety Centre, even if we are being safe, it does not mean that everyone around us is being safe. Accidents can still happen, and according to RoSPA, 39 fatal accidents on the road in 2019 were children aged 15 and under.

    So, if you are planning to walk to school make sure to:

    Plan Your Route To School

    Planning your route is a great way of finding the quickest and safest way to school. You can locate where the road crossings are, as well as avoid the places that you shouldn’t cross. Once you have planned your route, we also recommend that you practise it with a parent or carer. This can help you feel more confident and avoid making unsafe decisions.

    Look For Multiple Ways To Get To School

    Sometimes, the route we would normally take might be cut off due to road repairs or even accidents. In cases such as this, we would have to find an alternative path to get to school. Unexpected events like this can cause us to feel worried or stressed, which may lead to us making unsafe decisions. By practising multiple routes, you will always have another option.

    Stay Bright, Stay Seen

    Wearing bright clothing makes it easier for all road users to see you, especially when you are walking home after school. Whilst school uniforms are usually dark in colour, there are other bright things we could wear, such as a coat or bag.  You can add bright accessories, such as a reflective keyring or strap to your bag. It might not seem like much, but this can make all the difference.

    Be Free From Distractions

    In order to cross the road safely, we need to use our eyes and ears. If we are too busy looking at our phones or listening to music, we may miss oncoming danger. Stay free from distractions and get to school safely.

    Create a Hand…..A Helping Hand

    There can be times when you feel sad, worried or stressed about things that are happening at home or school. In times such as these it is important to tell someone.

    At the Safety Centre, we call this the Helping Hand. Your thumb represents yourself, as there are times when we can fix the problem. However, if it is something we need help with, each finger on our hand represents a group of adults you could turn to.

    Why not take the time to think about who you would include on your hand? If you aren’t too sure, why not check out some our examples below to help give you an idea.

    Index Finger

    The index finger represents adults you would find at home. This could be your mum, dad or carer. You might even live with an adult brother or sister.

    Middle Finger

    The middle finger refers to people in our wider family, such as our grandparents, uncles and aunties. This can also include any adult cousins that you are close to.

    Ring Finger

    Your ring finger finger includes any adult you feel you can trust at school. It could be a teacher, teaching assistant, headteacher or lunchtime supervisor.

    Little Finger

    The last, but certainly not least, little finger represents any other adults that you know. It could be your friend’s parents, a neighbour or activity leader.

    If you are not able to reach anyone face to face, Childline is there online or on the phone, all day, everyday.

    Remember, there is nothing so awful that you cannot talk to someone about it. If you feel that you are not being heard, keep trying until someone listens to you.

    The Power Of Saying No

    No might seem like an easy word to say but we don’t always feel like we can, especially when it comes to our friends.

    Friendships are really important to us and it is only natural that we want to fit in, but it is also important to recognise when this might lead to unsafe choices and negative consequences.

    We may not realise it but our friends can influence us, shaping the way we behave and make decisions. Changing the way we think, feel or act in order to fit in with or make a person or group of people happy is known as peer pressure. This isn’t always bad as they could help to change your view of a situation to make it more positive, but there are occasions when it can be.

    When we are in situations where friends are encouraging us to do something that makes us uncomfortable or that we know is wrong, it can be difficult to know what to do. Especially if the rest of your friends are doing it. You may feel worried that by not joining in you might loose your friends or be the target for bullying. These feelings are very common, but there are steps you can take to help you. Remember, it is never ok to fit in with people at the expense of harming yourself or others.

    Think! Is The Choice I’m About To Make Right Or Wrong?

    There will be times when this is more obvious than others, but that won’t make it any less difficult. Our bodies are often very helpful in these situations with sending out early warning signs, such as an increased heart beat, shaking and feeling sick. These appear when we are scared or nervous and are there to tell us that the situation we are in might not be safe.

    We can also ask ourselves how this choice will affect:

    • Ourselves
    • Our future
    • Our family
    • The people around us
    • Our community

    If any of the above would be affected in a negative way due to a choice that we would make, it can help to give us the confidence to say No.

    Walk Away

    Sometimes the easiest thing to do is walk away from the situation. It is easier if others join you, but don’t let this stop you if they don’t.

    Use Your Helping Hand

    Think about the people you could tell. They will be able to help you make the right decision, or open up a safe space for you to relay your concerns with your friends.

    Hazard Alley are delighted to announce that our new scenario is up and running.

    Last year, the Safety Centre were awarded funding by MK Council and the Safer MK Partnership. This was to create a new learning zone that focused on the risks and consequences related to knife crime.

    After many months of hard work, the new scenario is finished and a great new addition to our Hazard Alley tour. Children really enjoy using the clikapads to make their decisions when faced with challenging scenarios.

    The content covered is age appropriate, with years 2-4 focusing on choices and consequences related to littering and graffiti, whilst years 5 and 6 focus on the choices and consequences related to knife crime.

    We are very pleased to see the positive impact this is already having on the school children that visit us. It is another fantastic scenario, providing children with the opportunity to gain essential knowledge that will empower them to make safer choices.

    I am thrilled to have joined the Safety Centre charity and I look forward to building on the success of Jo Green, the previous Director.

    The work of the Safety Centre is far reaching and invaluable, which resonates with my passion for making a positive difference to the lives of others. As a mum I champion the importance of children experiencing safety education in such an interactive and immersive way.

    I’ve worked in the charity sector for over 20 years, having gained my experience at international, national and regional charities. My experience spans areas of leadership, operational management, generating revenue, developing strategic partnerships, growing services and managing staff & volunteer teams.

    In all the roles I’ve held I have had the pleasure of working with volunteers. In fact, being a volunteer myself whilst I was at University over 24 years ago is what triggered my passion for the charity sector. As a sector we couldn’t operate without the support and generosity of our volunteer network, and I’d like to acknowledge the invaluable support of the Safety Centre charity volunteers.

    A special thank you to everyone who has supported our work in ensuring we are providing the absolute best safety education in an interactive and memorable way to young people across our communities.

    I look forward to working with the wider community and ensuring we continue this vital work.

    Maya

    Saturday February 22nd seems such an age ago now!

    Six teams of swimmers met at Wovlerton Pool to swim in the annual Rotary Club of Milton Keynes Swimathon event. 36 swimmers were sponsored to swim lengths of the pool in relay for 55 minutes to raise money for Hazard Alley. Our efforts resulted in a donation of £7000.Well needed funds at the present time when we can’t host visits to the centre or run H&S training courses.

    A massive thank you to all of our volunteers, friends, trustees and staff who swam and supported the teams on the day. Thanks as well to the Rotary Club for organising this annual fundraiser for local charities.

    While we can’t open our doors to visitors during the current pandemic, we’ve worked with Visual Realms Limited to update our virtual reality model of Hazard Alley.

    You will find links to educational videos, activities and online resources. We’ve chosen them because they support the specific safety messages that we teach in each scenario or simply because we thought they might be fun to do.

    Click here to get to the village and then explore: Live Tour

    Or start from the Discover page: https://www.safetycentre.co.uk/scenarios-activities/ and click on the purple box.

    When you click on a green circle in the tour you’ll get a brief explanation about the virtual resource and then a web link to click. One or two just tell you about the centre or what facilities we have so ignore those for now!

    You might find Western Power’s Discovery Zone or how to be King of the Road with some very cute hedgehogs, You can earn stamps in a water safety passport by completing activities or read a new version of Goldilocks written with online safety in mind.

    Do drop us an email to tell us how you got on, what you liked doing best on our virtual visit, or to suggest some other resources you think we should add? We’re at info@www.safetycentre.co.uk or you can message us on Facebook.

    Whatever you do, have fun visiting the village and trying out the activities. We hope that you will come and see it for real when we’re open again.

    We offer school visits as well as family tours and visits for groups such as cubs and brownies. You’ll find more information about the range of services we offer on the Discover pages.
