Year 6 learners across primary schools with the county borough have recently attended the Crucial Crew event.
Crucial Crew is an event that provides skills to young learners who are on the cusp of attending secondary school, providing them the opportunity to acquire essential skills at an impressionable time in their development.
The event is an effective way of raising awareness from several professional agencies, to ensure pupils are provided with crucial information as they become more independent on their transition to secondary school.
The following agencies attended the event and presented information on staying safe and hazards to look out for:
- CCBC Road safety – The importance of wearing seat belts, wearing them correctly, and the consequences of not doing so.
