This Life Skills resource bundle from Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service provides a comprehensive set of engaging lessons designed to help young people stay safe, make informed decisions, and develop essential everyday skills. Covering key topics including railway safety, home fire safety, CPR and defibrillator use, bullying awareness, water safety, and road safety, the materials support learners in understanding risks and knowing how to respond confidently in real-life situations. The resources are practical, age-appropriate, and aligned to promoting personal safety, resilience, and responsible behaviour.
How To Use
This bundle can be delivered flexibly in schools, youth groups, or community settings as part of PSHE, citizenship, or safety education programmes. Each topic can be taught as a standalone lesson or combined into a wider safety unit. Facilitators are encouraged to:
- Adapt sessions to suit the age, needs, and prior knowledge of their learners
- Encourage discussion, reflection, and scenario-based learning
- Reinforce key safety messages through real-life examples and interactive activities
- Use the resources progressively or dip into individual topics as needed
- Link learning to local context and emergency services where appropriate
The materials are designed to empower young people with the knowledge and confidence to stay safe, support others, and respond effectively in emergencies.
