Education and young people

The best way to keep our community safe is to prevent fires and incidents from happening. We do that through education and that begins with our young people.

We work with local schools to teach children and young people how to stay safe. We also run youth groups such as our Fire Cadets programme.

Schools and education

Our education advocates are specially trained to teach children about fire prevention and safety. We carry out school visits and have created lots of handy resources to help you engage children and teach them the curriculum.

Resources, games, books and ideas to teach children aged two to five about fire and road safety through the topic 'people who help us'.

From videos to handy worksheets, we’ve created resources to help you teach the Great Fire of London, and support delivery of Key Stage 1 and 2 classes about fire and road safety sessions.

Resources and information for primary schools

Secondary schools

We teach pupils the importance of fire and road safety and the impact of careless behaviour, so they can keep themselves (and others) safe.

Youth groups

Away from a classroom setting, uniformed groups are a great way for children and teenagers to grow their confidence and learn skills that will help them flourish later in life.

 

Fire Cadets

A fun, free and nationally recognised programme for 13-18 year-olds that allows them to gain a qualification, learn new skills, make friends and boost their confidence!
