Safety education resources –
www.hants.gov.uk/education/hias/pdl/think-safe
• Hampshire Think Safe digital resource bank for teachers.
• Key Stage 2 work sheets and activities for event follow-up
and extension.
• Each year agencies within Hampshire and the unitary
authorities join together to provide hands on safety events
called ‘Think Safe’ for Year 6 children within the county.
• For many years, the safety messages promoted at these
events were reinforced within an activity book, a copy of
which was offered to every one of the 20,000 Year 6 children
in Hampshire. This year, the team behind Think Safe has
taken the idea of post-event activities one stage further by
uploading all activities to a central web resource, the Think
Safe digital resource bank.
Think Safe Resources
• By taking the resources online we can, in the face of spiralling costs,
not only maintain the post-event classroom support, but also extend
and develop it in coming years. Think Safe digital resource bank:
www.safetynetwork.org.uk/login.aspx .
• To access the site you will need the username and password that was
given out at the Think Safe events, if you did not receive this and
would like to access the resources, please contact Hampshire Fire and
Rescue Service on: e-mail: educational.events@hantsfire.gov.uk .
• Also available to support Think Safe events and safety education for
pupils in Years 5 and 6 is the website www.juniorcitizen.org.uk. This
has further resources, many interactive, plus information for teachers
and those agencies putting on events across Hampshire. It even
contains a current diary so that you can check out if there is an event
near your school.
RRR-The Rights Respecting Schools Award
www.unicef.org.uk/rrsa
•
The Rights Respecting Schools Award (RRSA) recognises achievement in putting
the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) at the heart of a
school’s planning, policies, practice and ethos. A rights-respecting school not only
teaches about children’s rights but also models rights and respect in all its
relationships: between teachers / adults and pupils, between adults and between
pupils.
Who is the Rights Respecting Schools Award (RRSA) for?
• The RRSA is a UK-wide initiative for all children and all those working with or for
children in formal education. It is being successfully implemented in all settings –
Primary, Secondary, Special Needs and Pupil Referral Units – across England,
Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
How does the RRSA link with other school initiatives?
• The initiative unifies a range of educational priorities in all UK jurisdictions; the
global dimension, SEAL (social and emotional aspects of learning), community
cohesion and sustainable development.
What impact does the RRSA have?
• A three year qualitative study, www.unicef.org.uk/Education/ImpactEvidence/External-evaluation/ , by researchers at the Universities of Sussex and
Brighton found that "The RRSA has had a profound effect on the majority of the
schools involved in the programme."

Liver trust materials
(secondary)
• www.britishlivertrust.org.uk/home
The Love Your Liver Project
• Phase 1 – materials trialled at John Hanson School
• Phase 2 of the "Love your Liver" Project - steering group is
being set up
• 2 sets of teaching materials to be produced (6 lessons for KS3
and 6 for KS4) which include and build on the Phase 1 trialled
lessons.
• This will constitute a half term unit of PSHEE work for each KS,
and will enable specific work about liver health to be seen in a
bigger context of healthy lifestyle, risk etc
• Teaching materials to be written in the summer term and trialled
in the Autumn term
• Several secondary schools needed in Hampshire to trial the
packs?
• Interested secondary schools to contact
glynis.wright@hants.gov.uk
Schools Meals Project
• The Hampshire School Meals project has
been jointly commissioned by Hampshire
Healthy Schools and Hampshire Catering
Service HC3S to identify the barriers to
children choosing school meals and enable
more children to have access to a healthy
and nutritious meal at lunchtime.
• The project will be co-ordinated by Debbie
Jones, an independent Healthy Schools
Consultant.
School Meals Project
• Six schools in Gosport are being supported through a
joint Hampshire Healthy Schools / HC3S (Hampshire
Catering) project to improve lunchtimes for children
• School lunches have been identified as being the
most nutritious choice for children.
• Discussions with local children suggest that queuing
and not being able to sit with friends influence their
choice of whether to eat a school meal or bring in a
packed lunch;
• The project will identify best practice in providing a
positive lunchtime experience for our children.
Best Practice: Gomer Infant School



Investment in the lunchtime team at
Gomer has created a friendly and
positive environment for the children
to eat in;
The lunchtime supervisor has been
integrated into the school. She leads
Friday assembly and attends circle
time each half term;
Through the project Gomer Infant
School will be trailing a more
restaurant style environment including
decorations, individual bread baskets
and cutlery holders on each table.
Taster sessions for parents, pupils
and staff are being planned and new
waste facilities will be introduced.
Lunch Box Activity
Children at a local School have put
together a sample packed lunch which
can be compared to a school lunch as
follows:
934 calories (520)
43.6g fat (20.6g)
9 tsp sugar (2.5 tsp)
1191mg sodium (499mg)
packed lunch (maximum found in a school meal)
School Meals Project -Providing a healthy lunch
for young people – Why does it matter?
• The project comes at a time when not only the
nutritional value of packed lunches is coming into
question, but there are also concerns regarding the
health and safety of storing lunch boxes out of a
refrigerated environment.
• Patricia Mucavele, research and nutrition manager at
the School Food Trust, was recently reported as
saying “school lunches are now the most nutritious
choice for children and young people. Packed
lunches aren't as nutritious as school meals they are
typically higher in saturated fat, sugar and salt,
and often contain foods that can't be provided in
schools such as sweets and salted snacks”.
This view is supported by a recent Which? study which
highlighted some worrying evidence regarding the
nutritional value of pre-packed snacks:• A Dairylea Lunchables ham 'n‘ cheese Crackers contains 1.8g
of salt, over half of a four to six year-old's daily intake.
• Almost 15% of a Petits Filous Frube is sugar.
• Robinson's Fruit Shoot Juice (blackcurrant and apple) says that
it has no artificial colours, flavours and sweeteners, but each
drink contains over 4 teaspoons of sugar.
• The Fruit Factory Fruit Strings are almost 50% sugar.
• Of the 1000 parents served by Which? 81% were shown to
include pre-packed snacks in their children's lunchboxes. The
study found that not only are pre-packed snacks bad for
children's health, they are also bad for their parents wallet!
Adding just two of the snack items (a Dairylea Lunchables
Pack and a Robinsons Fruit Shoot Juice drink) to a
lunchbox could add up to £1.86 compared with the £2 cost
of a two course nutritionally balanced school meal.
Healthy Early Years (HEY)
• Toolkit for HEY aligns with HS and is linked to preschool and
nursery self evaluation.
• Final draft is currently with Services for Young Children senior
managers for approval.
• It is intended that schools will link with preschools and nurseries
to work on shared health priorities.
• Thought? How well do you know your local preschools and
nurseries? Will you be ready to work together on health
priorities? If not, the time is right to drop in and visit to
introduce yourselves (or via email at least)

“Every school will have
young carers … and just
one individual teacher
or support worker being
involved can make a
huge difference.”
(young carer)
Young Carers: “children and young people under 18 who provide
regular and ongoing care and emotional support to a family
member who is physically or mentally ill, disabled or misuses
substances.
A young carer becomes vulnerable when the level of caregiving and responsibility to the person in need of care becomes
excessive or inappropriate for that child, risking impacting on
his or her emotional or physical wellbeing or educational
achievement and life chances”
“As human beings we have a choice we can walk away and say ‘no
I don’t want to do this’ but at the same time we don’t have a
choice because it’s our family and if we walked away… well it
would just be wrong, you can’t walk away from something like
that” [young carer]
