With the help of StayWise, I have been able to teach valuable safety lesson to my class in a really engaging way. There are such a wide range of resources available, I can always find something to help me with my planning

Sarah, Primary School Teacher

As a teacher of children with Special Education Needs, the introduction of Makaton and Widget stories have saved me hours in creating my own accessible resources. The Children love using them and it gives them an opportunity to work independently and also for all children being able to use and recognise the signs and symbols.

Katie, SEND Specialist

Knowing that the resources have been developed by the emergency services gives me confidence that, by using them, I am covering all the safety knowledge that my year 5 class need to know as they grow older and become more independent.
