Today is my last day as Emerging Technology Officer at Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service. Since last year the Youth Engagement Department has seen a number of changes. For example there are now three trained CEOP ThinkUKnow Ambassadors who have cascaded the ThinkUKnow training throughout the department, ensuring that we are helping to keep all the children and young people we work with, safe online. A number of the teams have also used video cameras throughout there programmes such as Prince’s Trust and EARLY (see earlier blogs) which have been a great success particularly when the young people are able to show their family the video at the end of the course as well as use it for promotion and recruitment.
These changes will continue and the Youth Engagement department will continually stay abreast of emerging technologies ensuring they are consistently providing an excellent service for children and young people and keeping Merseyside safer, stronger and healthier.
Be sure to keep watching this space as this is certainly not the end of the use of technology in the Fire and Rescue Service, in fact… it is just the beginning!!
