This presentation helps secondary-aged students understand how to stay safe around fireworks and bonfires. It covers the Firework Safety Code, the dangers and consequences of hoax calls to the emergency services, what to do if clothes catch fire, and basic first aid for burns and scalds. Through discussion and real-life safety messages, students will learn how to make safe choices, respond appropriately in an emergency, and help keep themselves and others safe during firework celebrations.

How To Use

Use this presentation as a whole-class lesson or assembly during the autumn term and in the lead up to Bonfire Night and other firework celebrations. Encourage students to participate in discussions, share their existing knowledge, and reflect on how they would respond to different safety scenarios. The presentation can be used alongside practical demonstrations, role-play activities, or follow-up tasks to reinforce key messages about firework safety, emergency situations, and basic first aid. It is suitable for supporting personal safety education and promoting responsible behaviour both at home and in the community.
