Signs of Stranger Danger

This week we linked up with some of the younger members of our community when three children from local primary schools visited for a tour of our Social Enterprises. As part of the ‘Stranger Danger’ initiative run by Kent Police, children from Burham, Wouldham and Eccles primary schools entered a competition to design signs for local parks. The three worthy winners, Mia Fazzani, Emily Wilkinson and Nicole Williams, were invited to see how we produced the signs from their designs.

Staff at RBLI were delighted to be involved in such an important campaign by being asked to produce the signs. The tour and presentation, which also included representatives from Kent Police, Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council, were enjoyed by all. The children were presented with replicas of their winning signs. I have to say I was extremely impressed by the creativity and imagination displayed by the winners in their designs. I am sure that the signs will go a long way to helping children understand the potential dangers of talking to strangers. Our three young visitors should be proud of the contribution they will make to helping keep our children safe as we were to offer our support to this initiative.
