This Gaelic resource bundle has been developed for Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) staff to support engaging, culturally relevant safety education with children and young people. Delivered through the medium of Gaelic, it includes age-appropriate materials that explore key community safety themes, including antisocial behaviour (ASB), bonfire and firework safety, and the dangers of derelict or abandoned buildings.
The resources promote awareness, responsible decision-making, and risk reduction through interactive activities, discussion prompts, and visual content. They are designed to support both fluent Gaelic speakers and learners, helping to reinforce language skills while delivering important safety messages rooted in real-life contexts.
How To Use
- Engage First: Introduce topics with discussion prompts and visuals to encourage participation in Gaelic.
- Make it Interactive: Use games, role-play, and scenarios to explore risks and safe choices.
- Support Language: Draw on key vocabulary provided to include both learners and fluent speakers.
- Reinforce Learning: Summarise key safety messages and encourage children to share them at home.
