Our Safeside centres are great centres of learning with a variety of programmes and activities designed to teach young people various skills to keep them safe, secure and enhance their life skills.
What is Safeside?
Our Safeside centres in Eastside and Handsworth provide experiential learning on safety issues for children, young people and adults, designed and maintained to complement the current PSHE curriculum.
Our Eastside centre features our immersive full-size indoor safety village. Many different scenarios make up our village including a bank, house, road, shop, police station, and canal. It allows children to learn about real dangers, within a safe and controlled environment.
Safeside at Handsworth is on the grounds of a working fire station and is home to our home safety facility including fire safety, focusing mainly on fire safety and the work of the fire service in the community.
