2025/26 Elmbridge ‘Junior Citizen’ Child Safety Event.

Suzanne and I, accompanied by the Mayor of Elmbridge and other local dignitaries, attended the Elmbridge ‘Junior Citizen’ Child Safety Event’s VIP Day which was held at the Sandown Park Racecourse in Esher.

Running from the 12th to the 20th January, the event brought together around a thousand year 6 primary school pupils from across the borough – pupils who are at an important stage in their lives as they prepare to transition from primary to secondary school. The event provided the children with the opportunity to participate in a number of interactive safety workshops which this year covered a range of topics designed to help the pupils to stay safe in the future. Participating organisations included South East Coast Ambulance Service, Surrey Child and Family Health (School Nurses), Network Rail/ South Western Railway/ British Transport Police, Thames Basin Heaths Partnership, Places for People Leisure and Take the JUMP.

We witnessed safety education workshops, which included pupils and teachers from Chandlers Field Primary School in West Molesey and Cranmere Primary School in Esher.
