Testimonials

'The SafeStart CD-ROM proved to be an excellent piece of software for our Fire Safety week in YR5. The children thought the game was great fun and they loved the Furr Twin characters. From a teachers point of view, I found all the activities were very educational and fulfil many aspects of the healthy schools agenda. I particularly thought the lesson plans were a great advantage; saving teachers hours of planning time.'
Mr. M Woolley, YR5 Teacher & Healthy Schools Co-Ordinator, Our Lady of Mount Carmel R.C School, Tameside.

“The SafeStart initiative is an excellent campaign aimed at educating children at a core level.  It is something that Forward Slash Media and myself are keen to support in anyway possible”

"The children like the characters & the activities. I am pleased to have the CD-ROMs to use in our lessons. Thank you."
Carol Payne, PHSE Coordinator, Barons Court Infant School and Nursery.

" Although we had planned to use the resources for walk to school week, it has become apparent that they will be used for other PHSE lessons. The children love the animations. Very useful resources. Thank you."
Pauline Lambert, PSHCE Coordinator, Hilltop Junior School.

" The Road Safety Posters are fantastic! Very clear & colourful. All parents took a safety leaflet, the children were very expressive over what they had done. We did the theory using the posters and CD-ROMS. The teachers section is informative we are trying to use this within our academy time. Many thanks."
Natalie Morris, Extended Schools Manager, Haslingden Primary School.

''I write on behalf of the pupils and staff at Rothwell Haigh Road Infant school to thank you for the wonderful 'Safestart' resources received in the Autumn Term. These Resources will be used during our school 'Be Healthy - Stay Safe' week later in the summer term and will be invaluable throughout the school in providing information on a range of safety issues in an interactive and appealing manner. I have thanked Mr Brook, our sponsor and hope we will be considered for future resources.''
Louise Aston, Assistant Headteacher

"I love the characters and think that they will get kids to engage with the activities and learn the basics of road safety while playing the game. It will compliment our work with early years classes really well. The teachers notes are easy to use and can be adapted for lots of occasions."
Stephen Dickinson, Road Safety Officer, Tameside MBC

"Being able to nominate an individual school makes our donation even more valuable as not only are we supporting a great cause in Safestart UK but we are also providing a school in our immediate community with excellent resources. We wish you all the best with your continued good work and welcome all updates and progress reports you may have to share with us."
