MORE than 2,000 pupils from 40 schools across Stockton will be taking part in the Crucial Crew safety awareness sessions at the old children's hospital in Durham Road.
The first group of youngsters took part in sessions on Friday, spending time with representatives from organisations including the police, coastguard and fire brigade.
The aim is to show ten and 11-year-olds how to think and act safely in different situations.
Project officer Deborah Hugill said: "Schools are always very keen for their pupils to come along, and we have had some very positive feedback in previous years."
