📺 Warning Zone on BBC Leicester!

It was fantastic to welcome the BBC Leicester team to Warning Zone last week to see first-hand how we’re helping children learn to recognise risks, make safer choices and build confidence through immersive, real-life experiences.

Their visit included a look at our new railway safety experience, which brings the dangers around railways and level crossings to life in a memorable and engaging way.

A huge thank you to BBC Leicester for coming along and helping us shine a light on this important work - and on the difference that practical safety education can make for children across Leicester, Leicestershire and beyond.

🎥 Take a look at their visit below.

What a brilliant turnout! 🙌

Last Thursday, we joined the Volunteering and Jobs Fair at the Highfields Centre . It was so busy that we barely had time to take photos - but we did meet lots of fantastic people interested in becoming future Warning Zone volunteers.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by for a chat. Could you help us equip local children with vital safety skills?

Get in touch to find out more about volunteering with Warning Zone. 💛

🚆 A major new chapter for safety education at Warning Zone

Yesterday, we were proud to unveil our transformed Rail Safety Zone following a £100,000 investment - the most significant physical upgrade to our Safety Zones since Warning Zone opened.

Developed in partnership with Network Rail, with support from East Midlands Railway, the new zone recreates a realistic railway environment. It features a pedestrian level crossing, railway fencing, bridge and tunnel features, a train frontage and an immersive carriage experience.

Projection, film, lighting, sound and scenic effects allow children to explore serious risks in a safe and controlled setting. Instead of simply learning rules, they can identify hazards, understand the consequences of their choices and build the confidence to make safer decisions.

This ambitious redevelopment has been made possible through collaboration between Warning Zone, Network Rail and East Midlands Railway, alongside the expertise of our creative, construction and technical project team.

We are enormously grateful to everyone whose commitment and support has brought this experience to life.

Around 11,000 Year 6 pupils will benefit from the new zone every year - helping a new generation stay safer as they become more independent.

Find out how your organisation can support Warning Zone’s work and help us reach even more young people.

It was great to hear how safety centres across the UK have developed over the past 12 months and to exchange ideas with people who share our commitment to keeping children safe.

Keeping our volunteers ready for another busy year at Warning Zone 🙌

Yesterday we brought our fantastic volunteer team together for a training and update day ahead of the new academic year.

It was a chance to walk through the latest changes across our safety zones, refresh key learning points and make sure everyone is confident and ready to welcome the thousands of Year 6 pupils who will visit Warning Zone over the months ahead.

Our volunteers are a huge part of what makes the Warning Zone experience work. They bring the scenarios to life, encourage children to think for themselves and help them build the confidence to make safer choices when they encounter risks in the real world.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us yesterday - and to all our volunteers who give their time, energy and experience to help keep local children safe. 💛
