100,000 pupils each year have their education disrupted by arson attacks.
 |
The APB kid’s pages (KIDS ZONE) are intended to
provide an educational resource for use in the classroom and at home. Children
will receive practical advice on fire safety, planning escape routes and
calling the fire brigade. The teachers’ notes accompany the pages, offering
activities which can be completed on an individual basis, in groups, or as an
entire class.

Having published our Key Stage 2 resource in Summer 2004, we are happy to
introduce our Key Stage 1 resource. A resource for Key Stage 3 pupils will be
available in early 2005.
It is our hope that on reading these pages, teachers, parents and carers will
gain an understanding of the problem of arson and use the resources provided to
pass this understanding on to children so that they are less likely to become
victims/ offenders of arson in the future.
If you are concerned that a child in your care may be at risk of committing
arson, the APB’s Juvenile Firesetting: How to Reduce the Risk provides
advice on spotting the danger signs and teaching children about fire safety.
Malicious damage, false alarms and minor incidents of fire-setting are key
indicators that your school is at risk of future arson attacks. If your school
has suffered a deliberate fire, however small, or malicious damage such as
graffiti, you should consider this a warning sign. How to Combat Arson in Schools provide advice on
security and practical fire safety measures. Or, use the online Arson Risk Assessment to assess the risk to your
school.
