HUNDREDS of youngsters will be given vital safety advice at an event in Newton Aycliffe next month.
About 1,300 year six pupils will attend Newton Aycliffe Young People's Centre between November 3 and 12 for Sedgefield Borough Council Leisure Services' seventh annual Safety Carousel.
Organisations including the fire and rescue services, police, Northern Electric, the Dogs Trust and British Transport Police will hold workshops to show children how to react in certain emergencies.
Event organiser Joanne King said: "We want to raise pupils awareness of the potentially dangerous situations which they might find themselves in.
"Working together with other organisations gives us the capability to deliver stronger messages about safety.''
