The youngsters took on an active role in a series of safety workshops, part of a special safety event involving the NHS, Lancashire Constabulary and Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service.

School and Community manager at Longridge High School Caroline Bridge helped to organise the day, and said it had been a great success.
