What makes this a great venue for School group Fun or Educational Visits?

DangerPoint is an interactive centre providing hands on safety education specifically for children and young people in North Wales. We aim to increase children and young people’s awareness of risks in the environment enabling them to make informed choices about their safety, health and well being.

What are the Curriculum Topics or Benefit to the students from a visit?

A visit to DangerPoint can be used as evidence for your Estyn inspections, Healthy Schools Programme and also as part of the Curriculum, particularly PSE.

What is the age range of the activities?

The Centre is split into zones which cover elements of everyday dangers that children and young people may come across in their lives. Whilst at the Centre, groups will visit the house where they will discuss home safety and cover the importance of fire safety. They’ll visit the dark alley to discuss the dangers of substance misuse and then discuss the effects of bullying. They’ll move on to discuss transport and have the opportunity to sit on the DangerPoint train. They will then discuss the outdoors including countryside safety and then have an opportunity board the DangerPoint boat to discuss water/beach safety. They will then use the DangerPoint road to discuss road safety including cycle safety and pedestrian safety. They will then discuss digital safety including the use of mobile phones and social networking sites.
