Crucial Crew

Year 6 went on a trip to Trafford Metrovics where Crucial Crew was being hosted. The children learned all about safety, preparing them for secondary school and greater independence.

There were lots of different talks and workshops for us to explore, including: 

• Personal Safety (avoiding hazardous situations, raising awareness of street robbery, on-line safety, hate crime, knife crime); 
• TREDS (Teamwork, Respect, Enjoyment, Discipline, Sportsmanship); 
• Road Safety (providing road safety advice for children, as pedestrians and cyclists, including safe places to cross the road and the need to wear cycle helmets and why seat belts should always be worn); 
• Commuter Safety (do’s and don’ts on the Metrolink Network, ticket avoidance/ consequences, identifying incidents to staff); 
• Rail Safety (using the railway environment safely, platform safety – yellow line and air turbulence, dangers of electricity – third rail and overhead line equipment, consequences of railway crime – trespass, graffiti, vandalism, object throwing); 
• You be the Magistrate! (educating children on the dangers and potential criminal consequences of cyberbullying, encouraging digital responsibility among young people).

All of the children were were really engaged, asking thoughtful questions and represented Wellfield Juniors wonderfully.
