Hull City Council’s ‘Kid Alert’ project is delivered in partnership with Safer Roads Humber at primary schools across the city and focuses on a range of safety issues and messages.
The two-week programme is aimed at year 6 children and is delivered to over 2,000 children.
Last year, the event, which is administered and coordinated by First Step Sports Group, covered several important areas of safety, with presentations from -
- NHS on the use of emergency numbers (999, 111, 112), as well as teaching the recovery position
- Network Rail, which delivered a safety talk on the importance of railway safety and staying away from the tracks
- RNLI, who gave a water safety talk, explaining what to do in dangerous water situations, who to call and how to help yourself and others
- Humberside Fire & Rescue discussed fire prevention, the placement of fire alarms and general fire safety tips
- Safer Roads Humber explained the importance of car booster seats and the impact of seat belts on safety
- Hull City Council provided talks on the dangers of litter and other environmental health issues.
- Hull City Council's road safety team discussed cycle safety, including the importance of wearing a helmet while cycling
Kid Alert takes place each summer to help support pupils with the transition from year 6 to year 7.
