Education

Education

We are committed to educating children and young people in fire safety skills and responsible citizenship.

We have developed a fire safety education programme to provide these essential life skills to the Island's children.

We aim to prevent children and young people being harmed or killed in accidental fires, or causing fires through ignorance or carelessness. We also endeavour to prevent children and young people becoming involved in fire crime and associated antisocial behaviour.

Below is an overview of our education programme, outlining which fire safety skills are taught at what level, the key areas covered and who delivers the input.

Without help and guidance, fire setting can continue into adulthood and lead to more serious consequences, including serious injury.
