MIDDLESBROUGH youngsters have been learning how to stay safe and out of trouble after taking part in a multi-agency campaign.
About 2,500 children will be learning good citizenship skills in the eighth police-led community safety workshops, which started on Monday.
The workshops run for a fortnight in conjunction with the fire brigade, the health service and Middlesbrough Council.
Schools liaison officer PC John Haycroft said: "This event shows that all the agencies are working together to keep young people safe and out of trouble. We are working together to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour in the community.
"It also shows that members of the local community can come together to assist the services in this role."
It involves pupils in year six from schools across the town and is held at Thorntree Community Centre.
Activities are based on role play scenarios and include themes on good citizenship and personal safety.
