Clare Guy, Teacher at St Aloysius Junior School, South Tyneside brought the children from Year 2 to SafetyWorks! on 2nd March.
Miss Guy said, “This was a fantastic experience which provided a wealth of age appropriate knowledge. I was particularly impressed by the pace set for the children and the slick way the morning was organised. This meant staff had no concerns re children becoming bored or misbehaving.
I would not hesitate to recommend this experience to other colleagues and schools. The morning surpassed my expectations and the staff were professional and clear speaking at an appropriate level for the differing needs of the children”

THANKS TO SAFETYWORKS!
I just wanted to say a big thank you for taking my students to SafetyWorks!. As you know there were one or two big characters in the group who were determined they wouldn’t change their opinions, and in the end they did. The students gained so much from the workshop and enjoyed every minute of it. It was very informative and the delivery was extremely good.
