Robert visits the Junior Citizen Trust

Robert said, "Today on my Communities Week, I visited the Junior Citizens Trust along with two West Oxfordshire primary schools - Wychwood Primary School and Enstone Primary School.

"This excellent organisation, supported by all local emergency services, teaches Year 6 students in Oxfordshire how to be safer in their communities.

"Throughout the day, they complete eight scenarios, including road, water, rail and fire safety, home dangers, internet safety, first aid and situational awareness.

"It is so important that we teach our children how to be an active part in their community, but also how to stay safe.

"Thank you to Graham and his team - and I encourage you to learn more here: http://www.juniorcitizenstrust.org.uk"
