Child Safety

We have specialised, since 1990, in teaching primary school children about electrical safety in the home and the environment. We welcome any possible sponsors to get in contact to promote Child Safety.

Suzanne Brown, Managing Director of Teachers from Industry Ltd, researched the teaching of electrical safety to primary school children as part of her Masters Degree in Education.

From 1990 to 1996 we developed and provided the electrical safety programme 'Play Safe with Manweb' and 'Play Safe with Wilby', this went to over a quarter of a million primary school children in North Wales (in Welsh and English) and Merseyside and Cheshire.

We have provided staff and resources for 'Crucial Crew' events on behalf of Norweb Plc. Also electrical safety education lessons as part of the 'BNFL in the Classroom' programme from 1996 to 2000.

Between September 2003 and March 2008 Teachers from Industry provided the 'Be Safe with ScottishPower'/'PowerWise' Programme in England, Scotland and Wales. We designed a bespoke service for them which made teaching the dangers of electricity fun and exciting, but most importantly memorable and life saving. By the end of March 2008 we had taught this programme to 192,438 children. The effectiveness of the programme  was recognised when ScottishPower won the IOSH Zurich Municipal Supreme Safety Award 2007. ScottishPower then also went on to win the International DuPont Safety Award 2007, Innovative Approach category.
