Hoax Calls
Check with the children that they know what a real emergency is. You should only call 999 in a real emergency. That means that:
There is risk of injury - someone could be badly hurt.
There is serious damage to property.
You think there's a crime happening at the time.
Something really serious is happening, which needs the police to be there.
Which of these incidents would be a genuine emergency?
A cat stuck in a tree. (No)
A smouldering litterbin in the park. (No)
Some graffiti on a wall. (No)
A car accident. (Yes)
A mugging. (Yes)
Ask the children to role play the procedure for making a genuine emergency call.
Anti-social behaviour orders (ASBOs)
Swearing excessively and vandalism are two reasons why someone might receive an ASBO. What other reasons can the children think of?
What do the children think would be a good way to persuade someone to change their anti-social behaviour?
The purpose of ASBOs The children can write three FAQs and their answers, which give key information about ASBOs, beginning with the words: 'what', 'who' and 'why'.
