Stranger Danger - For the attention of all Headteachers
Recently the ITV Breakfast show Daybreak aired a groundbreaking investigation about Stranger Danger. If you missed it you can see it by cutting and pasting the below link into your browser:

The results of the experiment made news around the world.7 out of 9 children left a park with a stranger, played by an actor.
In the aftermath the general consensus was that the Stranger Danger message is not being fully understood by children, and more needs to be done to make them aware. ITV and Daybreak want to change this and are asking primary schools to help them.
Whether in a special assembly or in the classroom, they are encouraging you to show pupils their experiment and check they understand the Stranger Danger message.

As a part of this we'd like to find out what teachers think about Stranger Danger education. We'd be very appreciative if you could take the time to fill out this short survey below, before Friday October 18th.
