CHILDREN at Rowley Regis Sure Start started learning health and safety early with the visit of police and fire officers.

The Make Time for Safety sessions for the group at Brickhouse Community Centre was part of a week-long roadshow organised by Rowley Regis Sure Start and the police and fire services.

Pupils from Brickhouse Primary School and Sure Start also attended the sessions.

Councillor Bob Badham, Sandwell Council's cabinet member for children and families, said: "This is an excellent way to get over safety messages to very young children.

"I am sure that they now know more about the potential dangers out there as well as having great fun."
