In today's episode, we were on location at dreamland in Margate for the annual Safety In Action event, which is organised by The Salus Group.
Safety in action is an interactive event for year 6 children to learn about some of the risks they may face, as they become more independent and prepare for transition to secondary school.
There are a number of scenarios set up by different organisations to provide information about a variety of topics.
The Thanet Community Safety Partnership delivered our ladder of risk project. If you'd like more information about this project we cover this in episode 9 of this podcast.
