Early advice to almost 2,000 pupils aims to reduce anti-social behaviour during summer holidays

Dear Resident

As the countdown to the summer holidays begins, specialist youth workers from the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner’s office are visiting hundreds of children to teach top tips for a safe break.

From responsible group chats to respecting other people’s property, Danielle Stone’s ASB Early Intervention Team are on a mission to help 1,800 year six pupils kick off the summer holidays, and transition to secondary school, armed with practical ways to reduce risk for themselves and their communities.

In total, Danielle’s team is visiting 25 primary schools across the county, along with Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs), to educate children how to be upstanders. One of the schools visited was Little Stanion Primary School.

Headteacher of Little Stanion Primary School Claudia Tate said: “As a school, we are committed to preparing our children not only for the next stage of their education, but for life beyond primary school.

“Opportunities like this play a vital role in helping our children understand their responsibilities, make positive choices, and appreciate the impact they can have on others

.

“Our ethos centres on developing respectful, informed and compassionate young people who can make a positive contribution to the society around them. The session supported this perfectly, and we are very grateful for your time, expertise and help, in shaping responsible future citizens.”
