BASC
Building a Safer Community (BASC)
Building a Safer Community (BASC) aligns public safety activities such as fire and rescue, road safety, health and safety and emergency planning with justice policy and Government strategies. It recognises the inter-dependence between social inclusion and community safety.
BASC is fundamentally about our systemic response to crime, disorder, antisocial or harmful behaviours and the associated harm caused.
Firefighters will join Police, Customs, Ambulance, Probation and Youth Service officers to raise awareness of everyday dangers and explain the consequences of criminal or antisocial behaviour to students in Year 8.
Our focus is highlighting the impact of prank calls, lighting fires and arson.
SPARKS
Delivered to Year 4 students, firefighters from our Watches visit classrooms to teach children basic fire safety skills.
Safety in Action
Year 5 students are taught how to stay safe in a fire by the Fire Safety team, including escape plans and how to travel through smoke.
Fire setting
Without help and guidance, fire setting can continue into adulthood and lead to more serious consequences, including serious injury.
StayWise
StayWise supports teachers and community safety practitioners to deliver essential safety messages to children and young people.
