Each Junior Citizens Trust school visit lasts for approximately two hours.
- Morning session: 9.30 - 11.30am
- Afternoon session: 12.30 - 14.30pm
During this time each child experiences a safety scenario where they are taught a variety of skills and suggested ways to safely deal with a situation which could arise during daily life.
The aim of each safety scenario is to allow children the opportunity of recognising and dealing with danger in a realistic way and one which they will remember, should they need to cope with a similar situation in real life.
