We are very pleased and excited to announce that the StayWise Cymru website was launched in partnership with the Welsh Fire & Rescue Services at the Urdd Eisteddfod which was held this year during May in Llandovery.

The StayWise Cymru website is an online resource that brings blue light and safety-focused organisations together with the key aim, to share our specific educational knowledge. The StayWise Cymru website has been compiled into three very easily accessible areas, one section is for teachers with a free login area, another section is for the wider public and the third is for blue light & safety-focused organisations. Instead of trying to find critical safety information from the multitude of places, spaces, and online messages which the internet offers, we now have it all together in one clear place. The aim is to provide fantastic, useful, concise educational resources. 

The public area of the StayWise Cymru site has a fun yet informative and welcoming activity centre with specific resources from interactive games, age specific storybooks, videos, activity sheets, all with a clear aim and direction while also being easy to navigate. Separately the teacher area can be easily navigated and concentrated towards key subject areas and ages which makes the StayWise Cymru Website a useful centre for education with correct messaging. 

We’re thrilled to announce that DangerPoint, the safety centre based in North Wales, have just qualified for the Charity Excellence Quality Mark.

​The quality mark provides evidence to stakeholders and funders of their commitment to excellence, reassurance to the trustees that the charity is well run and recognition for all their wonderful staff for what they are consistently achieving.

The assessment covers- promoting good governance, effective strategy, leading and managing people well, effective delivery of operations, efficient use of finance and resources, maximising income generation and effective communications.
As an Alliance, we'd like to offer our congratulations to the Charity in their achievement!

Hazard Alley, the safety centre in Milton Keynes has spoken about their lifesaving knife crime education work with ITV news, talking about the importance of early intervention prevention education and how this must continue. Their CEO Maya Joseph-Hussain spoke with Rebecca Haworth from ITV news about their work and the role the Safety Centre plays helping create safer futures. 
​
Maya said:
There’s a culture amongst our young people that its ok to be carrying a knife or a weapon, maybe they’re unaware of the risk to themselves and the wider community. We know that the issue of knife crime hasn’t gone away and we’ve got to keep tackling it together.
