MORE than 1,200 year six pupils from 35 schools in the Sedgefield borough attended a week-long Children's Safety Carousel arranged by the council's community safety department.
The event, at Aycliffe Young People's Centre, gave valuable safety messages through six workshops.
The workshops were run by Northern Electric, police, ambulance and fire and rescue services, the RSPCA and the Road Safety Team.
A council spokesman said: "The event is jointly funded by all of the borough's town councils and the Community Rangers, and it is hoped that all the messages that went out to the children will stay with them and help protect them in the future."
