Students Learn Valuable Safety Advice from CYP Police Officers
CYP (Children and Young People) Police Officers recently visited the Lower Academy to talk with students about staying safe, both online and in the local community.
. Students had the chance to ask questions, both during the session and afterwards, and get advice on issues that matter to them. Officers were also available for students to drop in and speak with during break and lunchtime if they had any questions they wanted to ask more privately.
The officers spoke about how messages and posts online can sometimes lead to arguments or conflict, and reminded students to think carefully before they send or share anything. They also explained the possible consequences of sending unkind or harmful messages.
Students were given practical tips on how to stay safe when out on bikes, scooters and other transport, as well as understanding the risks linked to anti-social behaviour and how to make safer choices.
These visits are a really important way of helping young people feel supported, while also building positive relationships between students, the police, and the wider community.
