West Midlands Police launch ‘Safe Street’ website for kids

A new children’s website was launched recently by West Midlands Police called www.safestreet.info aimed at providing 5 – 10 year olds with:

• An understanding of the role of police officers and police staff
• Safety information
• Health messages
• Citizenship advice

Some of the key messages on the site are:

• What is anti-social behaviour and how it affects people
• The role of police officers
• Travelling safely
• Stranger danger
• Support organisations
• Fire safety
• Crime prevention

The site has been designed to provide children, parents and Police officers with an opportunity to discuss safety in a colourful and fun learning environment.

If you are a member of staff working with children or a parent yourself, you may wish to visit the site, which includes quizzes, scenarios and videos for children to learn about becoming a safe and good citizen.
