Crucial Crew is an accident prevention intiative for Hartlepool primary schools.  This multi-agency event aims to provide an interactive way of teaching children to become more aware of personal safety, to learn how to react to dangerous situations and to provide an opportunity for children to practice safety skills in an exciting, stimulating and safe environment.

Crucial Crew should be regarded as an opportunity for young people to gain new knowledge that can be carried into the wider community and everyday lives.

All primary schools in Hartlepool are invited to attend the event with their Year 6 children (10 and 11 year olds) .  The event takes place annually over a fortnight in October. Each school attends for a half day where the children visit a range of interactive scenarios based on safety.

The event contains a number of different scenarios that are led by various agencies including (the scenarios may vary):

• Fire Safety
• Kitchen Safety
• Road Safety
• Safety at the Coast
• Electrical Safety
• Rail Safety
• Building Site Dangers
• Prison Life
• Firework Safety
